Hi again,

Doesn't hurt. ...But wait -- I aks to be on the safe side: since I remember, I use common formats (and every other files in texmf tree) for linux and windows. Is there ANY reason to generate nativ format for each operating system? Is there any reason not to make common any other texmf files?
If you have the same system on both sides, I think you are safe. It looks as if web2c systems can share formats if the web2c version number is identical.
indeed and this is what makes tex live such a nice system however, here i organize my binaries like texmf-mswin texmf-linux etc because i often have more modern pdftex's on windows -) Hans
