I installed it with the user (chrisp) which was I created during installation and the following sudo command

sudo ./install-tl -gui wizard

from DVD.

After TeX Live installation, I modified the

.bashrc

of chrisp and added

PATH=/usr/local/texlive/2009/bin/i386-linux:\$PATH

This gives for the PATH settings

PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin

This means, I think, either to add the right PATH setting to the .bashrc of root or change the privileges of the user chrisp?

What would you suggest as the best way and how could it be done?
