Summary description: Easy Install of TeXLive
License type: lppl

Announcement text: 
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This script allows the easy install of a current TeXLive
version over the net. It is tested with the current
Linux versions of OpenSUSE and Ubuntu. The script does

- looking for a fast server
- downloading the install script
- deleting an existing TeXLive version from Ubuntu (deb) or openSUSE (rpm)
- extracting and running the install script
- installing a complete up-to-date TeXLive from tug.org
- installing the non free fonts from tug.org which are not part of TeXLive, like arial, Luxi mono, aso
- installing the GUIs TeXmaker and TeXworks
- creating files zzz-texlive.sh/csh for /etc/profile.d/

without specifing a directory, TeXLive will be installed
in the home directory ~/texlive. For another one run
the script with e.g.

./eitl.sh /usr/local/texlive

for some actions the script needs to be root. In such cases it asks for the root password.
