No, there are _definitely_ better/easier ways to move a TL tree (and if
there isn't, then I agree that there should be). But there is lots of
other software out there that won't like $HOME changing, so this was
just a more general suggestion to side step the issue entirely.

I've done this myself on university computer systems so that I can
fake-install software to /usr/ as an unprivileged user, since I
personally found adding a single line to my "~/.profile" to be easier
than trying to configure a bunch of random software to be okay using a
different prefix.

Thanks,
