Hi guys, I don't think I have ever needed more than than 3-4gb, so it worth using the 64bit ver. of LuaTeX? Can I force the minimals install script to download and use the 32bit binary instead? I'm on a 64bit machine and I'm sure that on linux I can run that app in 32bit mode. - Mohamed

What would be the advantages of using the 32-bit version?

You need to desable automatic format generation and you need to pass --platform=linux as argument to mtx-update.lua in first-setup.sh ... then you need a costum version of setuptex (or you can set path manually) that will set the path to linux instead of linux-64. But I have no idea why you would want to do that. Mojca
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. Mohamed Mojca Miklavec wrote:

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

I forgot to finish the sentence. You can use British hyphenation rules instead of American ones with \mainlanguage[ukenglish]. And no, the behaviour is not going to change. TeX uses Knuth's hyphenation rules as well. ConTeXt uses slightly improved ones. Differences are almost neglectable anyway. Mojca

there has been a time that this was possible, but inpractice it's not that handy ... specifying the language should be part of the document preamble; in that time we had no gyre and as language is related to patterns + font encodings in mkii it was even more tricky one thing that you can do is add \mainlanguage[gb] to cont-sys.tex default to brittish english so that on your system it always starts that way; the overhead is nil Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
