</div>I hope others can shed some light on the error, but it is good news that you<br>
were able to get updates. Do laptop and desktop use different networks,<br>
or does this indicate a problem with the network on the laptop? In any case,<br>
all it takes is one system that can do updates and you can copy the TL tree<br>
to other machines to bring them "up to date". Even if you use the symbolic<br>
links method on the laptop this will work, assuming you don't need a binary<br>
that wasn't in the original install (in which case you might need to manually<br>
create a missing link).<br>
<br>
What do you get if you run the command:<br>
<div class="im"><br>
"fmtutil-sys --byhyphen<br>
/usr/local/texlive/2009/texmf-var/tex/generic/config/language.def"<br>
<br>
</div>manually? On my system (MacOSX) pdfetex and xetex fmts are generated.<br>
