Don't use INITEX to process documents; use it only to build TeX.  Then
use TeX to process documents.  The installation instructions you got
with TeX should explain how to do this on your system.  INITEX is like
temacs: it is just the bare bones.  TeX is INITEX loaded and dumped.
Just like Emacs, it is what you really use.

Yes, the manuals are in Texinfo format.  But you don't run texinfo.tex
through TeX, you run the manual source itself.  The manual source then
includes texinfo.tex.

You might also consider buying the printed manuals from the FSF.

Even before you get the manuals printed, you can learn about the
software by using Info to read the manuals online.
