<h2>TeX Live ISO Images</h2>
<p>This directory contains the ISO image for the official TeX Live
release; md5 and sha256 checksums are provided. The generic name
(texliveYYYY.iso) is simply a symlink to the dated release .iso.
<p>The <a href="http://tug.org/texlive/">TeX Live web pages</a> have
information on <a href="http://tug.org/texlive/acquire.html">other ways
to acquire the distribution</a>, <a

<a href="http://tug.org/texlive/doc.html">documentation</a>, <a
href="http://tug.org/texlive/bugs.html">known issues and how to report
bugs</a>, and more.
<p>Instead of dealing with this giant image, for typical use we
recommend the <a href="ftp://tug.org/texlive/tlnet">small
installer package(s)</a> available from <a
href="http://ctan.org">CTAN</a>.
<p>If you have problems with installation or running TeX after
installation, please check your environment variables: settings,
including your PATH, that end up referencing previously-installed TeX
systems (TeX Live or otherwise), can cause trouble, especially on Windows.

texlive – A comprehensive distribution of TeX and friends
A comprehensive TeX system that you can install on your hard disk. It
includes support for most Unix system architectures, including
GNU/Linux, and for Windows. The MacTeX
distribution is developed as part of the TeX live effort, and has
similar properties, but is distributed separately.
The TeX, PDFε-TeX, X∃TeX and LuaTeX engines are provided in the
distribution, with several different running formats each; a wide
range of support programs and macro packages is also included.
Beware: the download is large (>2 Gbytes); it comes
in the form of an ISO image for a DVD.
