But we can warn them to check, in the documentation.
As I hit this very error myself, I was confident that
there is no mention in the TUG/TeX Live/Downloads and other means/
Small bootstrap installer sequence, but now I come to
check I find that the last leads to a 550 :-(((
Where has

gone, and why are we still pointing at it if it is
no longer there ?!
