    119     <para>The <application>TeX Live</application> set of programs with its
    120     supporting documents, fonts, and utilities is very large.  The upstream

    122     BLFS recommends <filename class='directory'>/opt/texlive</filename>.</para>
    123 
    124     <para>First, unpack the installer and change into the installer's
    125     directory, <filename class='directory'>install-tl-&lt;CCYYMMDD&gt;</filename>.
    126     This directory name changes frequently when the installer is updated,
    127     so replace &lt;CCYYMMDD&gt; by the correct directory name.</para>

    133     for internal <application>TeX Live</application> libraries.  Additional
    134     libraries as specified in the dependencies section do not need to be

    146     the download will depend on your internet connection speed and the

    148

    152     the needed paths by appending to the <filename>extrapaths.sh</filename> script.
