Preparations

Before generating a new format it is necessary to rename a few files. This enables you to customize the format to the special needs of your site.

lfonts.tex
First of all you should rename the file lfonts.tex (supplied with the standard distribution of LATEX); otherwise you will always end up with an old format. Call it, say, lfonts.ori.
hyphen.tex
Another file which should probably be renamed is hyphen.tex (the original American \pattern s from Don Knuth) because this enables you to insert your favourite \pattern package when IniTEX is asking for this file. This might even be useful if you use TEX version 3.0 which is multilingual (assuming that your computer has only a limited memory).
