+
+    <para>The <application>TeX Live</application> package is a comprehensive
+    TeX document production system.  It includes TEX, LaTeX2e, ConTEXt,
+    Metafont, MetaPost, BibTeX and many other programs; an extensive collection
+    of macros, fonts and documentation; and support for typesetting in many
+    different scripts from around the world.</para>
+
+    <para>It is necessary to use a binary installer for the first install.
+    This will provide the programs, the scripts, and a lot of supporting files
+    and documentation.  After that, you can rebuild the programs from source
+    by following the instructions for <xref linkend="texlive"/>.  The installer
+    is updated frequently, so its md5sum will change if it is newer than what
+    is shown below.  Newer versions of the installer are expected to work with
+    these instructions, for so long as they install to a
+    <filename class="directory">&texlive-year;/</filename> directory.</para>
