New Revision: 16175

Log:
texlive cleanups: Move some commands from the new 'initialisation' block to the 
'installing' block, correct the reference to setting the PATH to be clear that 
you should now do that before starting this section, and reduce the description 
of 'make texlinks' because I now recommend NOT rerunning it.
