I have now (seemingly successfully) mirrored the Netherlands TeX Live
2020 pre-test repository, but I was confused when I sought to find out
how to proceed. The instructions read (in part) :

What does it mean that "install-tl -repository /location/ -gui" /*is the
default */on Windows ? It is the default if I do what ? Not knowing
how to invoke the default behaviour, I typed in full :
C:\TeX\Live\2020\Local\Repository : install-tl-windows.bat -repository
/. /-gui
What /should/ I have typed in order to obtain the default behaviour ?
