TeX Live 2007

How do I transpose this sequence of commands
into Ubuntu 6.10 commands?


mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom

cd /mnt/cdrom

sh install-tl.sh

Put a sudo in front of each command.  Also, just in case,
start with

sudo mkdir /mnt/cdrom

Ubuntu, mounts a CDROM when it's inserted (or it should), on
/media, so all you need is:
* put the CD in the drive, 
* wait a little while
* cd /media/cdrom
* sudo sh install-t1.sh

That's typical, right?  What's in:


mkdir /mnt/cdrom

mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom


and enabling Rock Ridge extensions?  Sorry, if I knew more,
I wouldn't
be asking; the command originates in Karl Berry's
installation
instructions and I'm just trying to put together reliable
instructions
for Ubuntu 7.04.

And then:


cd /mnt/cdrom

sh install-tl.sh

Feisty seems to have texlive in its repositories (apt-cache
search
texlive). Do you know what is the advantage of using TeX
Live CD instead
of Ubuntu packages? Does '07 version of the CD have
more/newer software?

Thanks,
Sarunas

TeX Live 2005 and the Ubuntu 7.04 texlive-full are
approximately
adequate to each other--I've heard of the difficulties in
creating a
package from it, but have no idea of the differences between
the two.
If it's important to you, there are two years of development
between
them.

I've worked on putting together a set of instructions (and
as much a
description of the process) for installing the TeX Live 2007
CD on
Ubuntu 7.04.  If you would like it, I would be more than
happy to
forward it to you. The last thing I need to do is bounce it
off the
powers that be to make sure that I'm not missing anything in
creating
the TeX environment properly.

That is, between the texlive-full of Ubuntu 7.04 and the TeX
Live 2007
CD.

OK, thanks for the info.

Instructions would be great. Wouldn't it make sense putting
them Ubuntu
wiki?
