Ubuntu: TeXlive install fails everytime
I have downloaded the tar.gz from tug.org, and I have followed the instructions.
But every time, after an hour of installation or so, it fails because the checksum of one of the file isn't right.
Am I doing something wrong?

Welcome to TeX.SX! Depending on your connection, it may indeed fail. It does for me somewhat regularly too. What I usually do when it does, is to install the "basic scheme" which is much lighter and then, once the distribution is in place, go installing the larger schemes fromtlmgr.

Thanks for the answer ! Currently retrying with a more stable connection. Where can I learn more about this "basic sheme"?

A good resource here on the site is tex.stackexchange.com/a/95373/105447. When you run the installer, you can set all sorts of options, the default is the "scheme full" which installs everything, but you can choose a leaner installation at this point, and add the rest later on.
