[OS X TeX] installing from TeXLive

[Claus Gerhardt]

I wouldn't trust i-installer and do it rather myself:

cd /usr/local
sudo rm -fR tetex

Beware that if you should have installed Gerben's TeXLive prior to  
the original texlive, then, given your set up, the original texlive  
is now contained in Gerben's TeXLive folder, it is the folder 2005.
