Should I first create this directory (it isn't there yet) or will the install
program to that for me?
Yes, you must create the directory, but /usr/local is not writable by users.
Then root must create the directory and then change the permissions.
Graphical? Type in terminal:
sudo nautilus
Go to the /usr/local , Create folder and name it texlive
Then do right click on the created and

I wouldn't recommend this. Stuff in the /usr/local/ hierarchy isn't
MEANT to be writeable by normal users. If you want to install just for
yourself, then install to some directory under $HOME/.
