That means that fmtutil could not find a line starting with config-de
in fmtutil.cnf.
To edit the fmtutil.cnf, just
fmtutil --edit
Then,
texexec --make

Thanks, but I wrote, that I did do that.
The problem were missing "cont-xx.ini" files.
°°°
Another question: My teTeX distribution is about one year old,
i looked at your homepage and couldn't find a newer one.
Some files utter they were "too old" while buidling formats.
Should I worry?

So if cont-de is missing, somewhere in the tex/context/config path there
should be a file cont-de.ini, containing:
% Thomas Esser, 1998, 1999. public domain.
\input cont-de.tex
\endinput
Also in texconfig --edit you should remove the comment sign before the
cont-de entry.
[since some texexec utilities, like pdf postprocessing, use the english
format and the documentation generator uses the dutch, I suggest you also
generate these]

Oh, sorry, I mistyped the most important thing.
It's "cont-de" naturally. Same with "cont-en", "cont-uk" and "cont-nl"

I was lucky that Netscape uses almost the same file formats on MacOS and
Linux.

this is strange, since it looks like it wants to make a format called
config-de. There should be a tetex cont-en configure file somewhere
(although it's reported missing in some old tetex distribution).
Maybe thomas knows what happens here.

Then you're ahead of me, since I now only pass our internet access through
the server but mail ... still windows.

Hello again!
I had these problems with some fonts (not only Palatino, even Lucida)
and couldn't create pdf...
I tried to fix "everything" by deleting all TeX packages, doing a
re-install of teTeX, deleting all ConTeXt files, re-installing the
latest cont-tmf.zip
To ensure that TeX can find all font files, I linked the font
directories of Ghostscript and all other (/usr/share/fonts) to the
appropriate section of texmf/fonts
Symbolic links to the perl scripts (texexec etc.) are created in
/usr/bin
I edited the following files
(after instructions of "how to install ConTeXt"):
fmtutil.cnf (fmtutil --edit)
pdftex.cfg (added context.map)
cont-usr.tex
cont-sys.tex (copy of ~.rme)
texmf.cnf
texexec.ini (copy of ~.rme)
While "texexec --make" only produced errors like
"texmf: format "config-de" not available"
I tried several commands mentioned by Ed Cashin in an old mail:
texhash (over and over...)
texconfig init
texconfig confall
texlinks
fmtutil --all
updmap
"texexec --make --alone" stops with an memory buffer overflow.
What shall I do?
(I'm proud to announce, that I can manage my mail on Linux now,
but that's the singular positive news...)
Groetjes!
Hraban.
