Thx very much for your help!
Just one more question (as I'm afraid to mess up):
I am about to type i (for installation) and I see in the output the following:
<D> directories:
TEXDIR (the main TeX directory):
!! default location: /usr/local/texlive/2009
!! is not writable, please select a different one!
Should I first create this directory (it isn't there yet) or will the install
program to that for me?
Happy X-mas!
