One more question, how do I only create the formats for British English only? No Dutch, American English etc.. I'm going to argue on the list that the en_GB should be the default ;), but I'll save that for another day.
There is only one English format that you can generate with "texexec --make en". If you're speaking about how to generate only that one with first-setup.sh, then you should be, at least in theory, able to generate only the chosen formats with --formats switch or my modifying the lua file that gets generated, but I imagine that it doesn't work or at least I have never tested it so far.
do you know if first-setup.sh only downloads the files /only if/ they're are changes? i mean could a simple checksum do the job?
Yes, it only downloads the modified files, but it doesn't use checksums since using them is much slower. You could add an additional -c switch, but you will not notice any difference (apart from a few files that Hans recreates every time when he uploads a new zip, but that's neglectable). Rsync checks for date+size. Only if these two are different it fetches the file. You could add checksum checking, but I guess that you don't gain anything. The only critical component where I really do need to change this are luatex and metapost source, but this only concerns binary builders, not users. Mojca
