Hello;

FYI,

I just installed a brand new Linux on virtual box. And the only
thing I did after that is download install-tl-unx.tar.gz  from
https://www.tug.org/texlive/acquire-netinstall.html

And run the install command as always:

gunzip install-tl-unx.tar.gz
tar -xvf install-tl-unx.tar
cd install-tl-20231211/
sudo ./install-tl

And first time I get this error

------------------------------------------------

Actions:
  <I> start installation to hard disk
  <P> save installation profile to 'texlive.profile' and exit
  <Q> quit

Enter command: I

Rerunning the installer will try to restart the installation.
Or you can restart by running the installer with:

Is this to be expected? Why does this error show
up the very first time?

Again, brand new Linux manjaro, latest, fresh. TL is the
very first thing I am installing.
