Because the book is not _primarily_ aimed at automation (although
it is certainly nice to have people test things using what the book
actually says, rather than what we think it says) I did not add any
HOWTO information in intall_tl_unx.
But my own builds are unattended, and for the binary I use
yes 'i' | TEXLIVE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/opt/texlive ./install-tl
(no, I do not recall what the 'i' is for).
