Well, I had the same error with the old script... In fact when launched, the
script does not detect any platform and I must use the P command to select
one.

If I immediately type I, I obtain (sorry for not pointing that)

Enter command: I
Preparing destination directories... Done preparing.
prepare_dirs: parse error: condition expected: = [42]
[localhost:/Volumes/TeXLive-7-20020515] mbova%


If I select the platform, I get this error when typing C, but mac platform
is actually selected, and the script exits after the prepare_dirs procedure
(except if I remove the trap line from the script).

There are many blank lines in my last mail, but if you go at the end you
will see :

Enter command: I
Preparing destination directories... Done preparing.

TeX Live can be used on multiple systems
as a separate subdirectory is used for each
installed binary package in /usr/TeX/bin.

[localhost:/Volumes/TeXLive-7-20020515] mbova% ls -R /usr/TeX/
texmf     texmf-var

/usr/TeX//texmf:

/usr/TeX//texmf-var:
fonts

/usr/TeX//texmf-var/fonts:
pk  tfm

/usr/TeX//texmf-var/fonts/pk:

/usr/TeX//texmf-var/fonts/tfm:
[localhost:/Volumes/TeXLive-7-20020515] mbova%

do you mean install-cd.sh -x ? (sorry like many mac users I am a bit new to
unix)

Yes, of course... But I must present tex distribs on OSX at the next
GUTenberg conference. Of course I will present Gerben's teTeX, and as
Fabrice and Daniel will present tl7 installation on win and linux, I hope be
able to do the same for OSX...
