      The installation was started like this:

[oler at olex texlive]$ cd install-tl-20091118/
[oler at olex install-tl-20091118]$ ./install-tl

Installation failed.
Rerunning the installer will try to restart the installation.
Or you can restart by running the installer with:
  install-tl --profile installation.profile [EXTRA-ARGS]
Writing log file to current working directory.

    OK, we start again:

    After a while the installation aborts, in the same way as above.
It was restarted again and again. The installation apparently
proceeded. The question is, will it ever succeed?
    What am I doing wrong?
