why the 'alternative viewer buttons' are all greyed out (amongst other
things...).
Moreover, if I manually edit the
Suppose I've create a format file, which I'll call mybook.fmt. How can I
make it 'permanently available' for my MikTeX install? I know there a
tab in the console for 'formats', but this doesn't quite look like what
I need. I don't need to 'build' (compile) the .fmt file, I simply need

I've been using MikTeX on my Mint-based Linux machines for several
months now, and really enjoy the fact that (i) it works, and (ii)

Never seen this error before (in the *many* years I've been using
MikTex). When I try to check for updates, I get an error message that
