Nothing so useful as instructions, I'm afraid, but I installed TL'08 on 
Ubuntu 9.04 recently - did you tick the little box (in gui - don't know 
how it appears in cmd) that tells the installer to place its sim links 
in the /usr/ bin directory, etc? That ensures that the TL'08 programmes 
are called, not the Ubuntu packaged versions.

Hope that helps,

David
