Karl,
I tried your 20061225 (inst) image, and now the problem with the
collections is gone. Installation finishes one install-tl.sh is run as
follows:
sudo -H sh install-tl
(I am not sure if, as before, installation doesn't end when sudo is
called without the -H option). However, a number of important utilities,
like texconfig, texconfig-sys, fmtutil, and fmtutil-sys don't work,
i.e., when invoked they do nothing and produce no output, till they are
killed. Is anybody else having the same problems? (I am running Mac OS X
10.4.8 on an old iMac G5.) Any ideas how to fix this?
Thanks,
Artemio
