I have try it with

  fmtutil --byfmt=pdflatex --fmtdir=.

and get

  FMTUTIL: $TEXMFMAIN is undefined or points to a non-existent 
  directory

Then

  kpsewhich --expand-var=$TEXMFMAIN
  //HAL/TMP/TEX/share/texmf

"HAL" is a Linux PC with the teTeX-Installation . What is wrong?


This was only a test. I don't really want to create a new format. I want 
share the existing format from my teTeX-Installation. I think, I must 
wait until teTeX and fpTeX have the same versions of pdfTeX...
