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.

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.

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.
