Neither the texmf/doc/tldoc documentation (live.pdf) nor the README files,
nor the internal documentation mention the fact that the install script
makes assumptions about the umask in the environment from which it is run,
and invoked with a umask of, say, 077, install-cd.sh does not make
necessary corrections when copying files so that the directories will have
the execute bit set, which later causes problems when setting up the fonts
and everything.
Either inserting the line 'umask 22' at the top of install-cd.sh or
mentioning the issue of file permissions in the install instructions would
probably save some headaches and confusion somewhere down the line.
