texlive cleanups: Move some commands from the new 'initialisation' block to the 'installing' block, correct the reference to setting the PATH to be clear that you should now do that before starting this section, and reduce the description of 'make texlinks' because I now recommend NOT rerunning it.

39
40 <para>Most of TeX Live can be built from source without a pre-existing
41 installation, but <application>xindy</application> (for indexing) needs
42 working versions of <command>latex</command> and <command>pdflatex</command>
43 when configure is run, and the testsuite and install for
44 <command>asy</command> (for vector graphics) will fail if TeX has not
45 already been installed. Additionally, <application>biber</application> is
46 not provided within the <application>texlive</application> source.</para>
47
48 <para>All of those packages are dealt with on their own pages and can be
49 built after installing this package. If you have not already done so, you
50 should start at <xref linkend="tex-path"/> so that the final commands to
51 initialise the new installation will be found.</para>

79 <para>Much of the texlive environment (including scripts, documentation,
80 fonts and various other files) is not part of the source tarball. You must
81 download it separately. This will give you all of the additional files
82 which are provided by a full install of the binary version, there is no
83 realistic way to restrict which parts get installed.</para>

86 Because of the size of this package, it is unlikely to be mirrored by

154 <para>
155 From 2015 onwards, a successful install requires some texlive
