Dear Manfred, dear all,
first of all I would like to thank all of you for the great work you're
doing each year to provide the TeX Collection to thousands of users all
over the world.
This year I won't have as much time and platforms available for testing
as in recent years.
I installed TeX Live 2021 from the iso image on my Ubuntu 20.04 LTS and
ProTeXt on my Window 10 Pro without any problems.
However, I would like to suggest editing the rather outdated text at the
beginning of README.HTML (and the corresponding passages for other
langages like LIESMICH.HTML) as well as of the txt versions:
------------------------------------------
The CTAN backbone consists of the servers
ftp.tex.ac.uk (cam.ctan.org) in the UK,
ftp.dante.de (dante.ctan.org) in Germany,
------------------------------------------
As far as I know there is only the DANTE server left.
Moreover, I found a wrong date in these texts:
------------------------------------------
The snapshot was produced in May 2017 from ftp.dante.de by DANTE,
------------------------------------------
which should for sure be something like April 2021 or March 2021.
Best regards,
Martin
