Not necessarily, the config file mentioned in the previous
messages is, as far as I remember, on one of the two extra
install disks of TL (extrahw or supp).  Just mount the disk
on a Linux box (I hope you have one :-) and edit the file
with your favorite editor (in contrast to the "main" install
disk, the other two - "extrahw" and "supp" - are standard
ext2 formatted floppies that are easy to hack).

Manuel

P.S.: To mount the disk, add

/dev/fd0                /mnt/floppy             ext2    noauto          0 0

      to /etc/fstab if it is not yet there.
