Since installing from Mater tree is not exactly the same, I  installed
from cd images  test-texlive2004-live-20040920.iso and
test-texlive2004-inst-20040919.iso. Previous installations were
completely deleted. I ran script install-tl.sh in both cases, chosen
default (did not change any suggested options). 

With test-texlive2004-inst-20040919.iso everything clean. 

With test-texlive2004-live-20040920.iso installation worked, but I got
same numeros error messages as I mentioned before, example: 
/opt/gnu/bin/tar: texmf/web2c/pdfxtex.pool: Could not create file: Permission denied

In this case, (readonly) file texmf/web2c/pdfxtex.pool was already
installed, since it is listed in several collections installed by default.



I tried install-pkg again (from both inst and live), it did not work: 

$ install-pkg.sh --listonly --collection=latexextra

ERROR: ./install-pkg.sh: /texlive/cd/texmf-dist/tpm/lists: no such directory. Are you sure this is the TeX Live CD?.
This was a fatal error. Installation aborted.
