Hello,
I just got the new DVD, TeX Collection 2005, tried to run cdemo.bat and to compile one of the sample documents, but:
texmfstart newtexexec.rb --autopdf --pdf demo-tex.tex
TeXExec | processing document 'demo-tex.tex' TeXExec | provide ctx file TeXExec | tex processing method: context TeXExec | TeX run 1 TeXExec | tex engine: pdfetex TeXExec | tex format: cont-en TeXExec | progname: context This is pdfeTeX, Version 3.141592-1.30.3-2.2 (Web2c 7.5.5) \write18 enabled. I can't find the format file `pdfetex.fmt'! pdfetex: unrecognized option `--alias=context' pdfetex: unrecognized option `--undump=cont-en' TeXExec | runtime: 3.315
Exit code: 0

texexec --make --all cannot be executed since the CD is not writable. Can this be overcome anyhow, is there a problem specific to my PC or is this distribution on DVD unusable as such?
(I often have similar "format missing" problems when I update MikTeX but then the problem disappers when I reboot the computer - not that I understand why since I refresh the database and remake all the formats each time anyway.)
cdemo is using the minimal but it looks like miktex is loaded and not the minimal binary ... there was a fix for this recently but that will not work when running from cd Hans
