Okay:
-- First I failed to do a rsync, on my debian box I got the error
»Unexpected remote arg: rsync://ftp.klid.dk/texlive-tlnet/ rsync
error: syntax or usage error (code 1) at main.c(1219) [sender=3.0.6]«
(Doing a rsync -a --exclude=2008 ... worked.)
-- Then I downloaded install-tl-unx.tar.gz from one mirror and started
./install-tl, but got an error, too:
»Installing TeX Live 2009 from: http://mirror.ctan.org/systems/texlive/tlnet
Platform: i386-linux => 'Intel x86 with GNU/Linux'
Distribution: net (downloading)
Using URL: http://mirror.ctan.org/systems/texlive/tlnet
Directory for temporary files: /tmp
Loading http://mirror.ctan.org/systems/texlive/tlnet/tlpkg/texlive.tlpdb
unusable location
http://mirror.ctan.org/systems/texlive/tlnet/tlpkg/texlive.tlpdb, could
not load any packages
./install-tl: Could not load TeX Live Database from
http://mirror.ctan.org/systems/texlive/tlnet, goodbye.«
Adding a location then worked.
-- Within the options (O), I wasn't able to include texworks to my
installation.
-- When I first invoked the installation, I was asked whether I want to
import my previous selection of collections from tl2008. For some
reason, I quit and was not asked again (I did a sudo the second time,
that might be the reason).
I'm waiting for the rsync process to finish before going on with the
install.
