I have just made a quick test of the image 20000515:
<R> do not install files, set up to run off CD-ROM
<I> start installation, <H> help, <Q> quit
Enter command: r
Preparing destination directories...
system located as i386-linux
Clean fmtutil.cnf in /var/tmp/tl7/texmf-var/web2c...
mkdir: cannot create directory `TeX': Permission denied

mkdir: cannot create directory `TeX': Permission denied
mkdir: cannot create directory `TeX': Permission denied

What is the reason of this messages? They gave impression
that the installation is unsuccesful which seems to be
misleading.
mktexlsr: Updating /home/jsbien/texmf/ls-R...
I write about separately.
mktexlsr: Updating /var/tmp/tl7/texmf-var/ls-R...
mktexlsr: /texlive-cd/texmf: directory not writable. Skipping...
mktexlsr: Done.
The messages flash on the screen so quickly that they are unreadable.
To get the log quoted above, I run install-cd in Emacs shell. What is
the recommended approach to make all the messages readable?
Best regards
