Dear experts,
I am a heavy user of LyX under Mageia5 which has all the normal TexLive
stuff but does not provide tlmgr, TeX Live's package and configuration
manager.
What I am facing now is this 2.9 GiB 'texlive2016-20160523.iso - Ark'
monster in /Home/Downloads.
After reading all the documentation that came along plus some info from the
internet I am more confused than ever and just do not know how to install
tlmgr on my system.
Who would be so kind as to advise me (a person of blessed ignorance in this
field) how to do that!?
I prepared a fresh install of Mageia5 on a separate HD that could be used
without damaging my system and data.
Thanks and cheers,
Michael
Hi Michael,
If you want tlmgr my guess is you will have to install TeX Live
manually, using install-tl. See here:
https://www.tug.org/texlive/quickinstall.html
If you have trouble, the tex-live mailing list is very helpful:
http://lists.tug.org/tex-live
I have a script that automates everything and makes things easy, but it
only works on Ubuntu. I think it would take a lot of work to adapt it to
Mageia5 but just in case you want to see how something in particular is
done, it is here:

Dear Scott,
after all my so many attempts I had just decided to give up and simply
wait for better times. But your answer stirs up new hope.
I will be free in a couple of days to attend to your promising ideas and
then report back to you.
Thanks and cheers!
Michael
PS: the background is that I asap want to use the great new features of
Lyx2.2, classicthesis4.2, and Komascript2016
