Hi,
 
  here are my comment (under Win) and comments another tester (under
Linux):
 

Best regards,

After win98, I choose the recommended installation, some Free tools
and some Tools from Net (Perl) and downloading
was very-very slowly from us... During the instalation, the button Help
does not work.

More latter...

  I am satisfied. Only:

  The instalation was under Linux RedHat 6.1CZ.

  In the end of the instalation, the instalation script should 
add into variable PATH, the path for new binaries (or at least to write, how to do it
or that it it suitable to do)

 When the instalation finished, the directory /usr/TeX/texmf-var/fonts
has the following setting  drwxr-xr-t. 
With this setting only root can do something and xdvi is sad:-) 																																																																																																																																																								
The correction is trivial. If it is design (maybe from the secutiry), I
appologize.
