I was lucky... the laptop had 10 gigabyte so there was no way that the installer could fill that up in one go. The autodownload took quite a while and seemed to be successful. I tried if I could call PERL from a command line and to my great surprise it worked. A simple test file gave a strange error message: \\\\\\\\\\\\\ (c:/Local/TeX/texmf/tex/context/base/cont-new.tex systems : beware: some patches loaded from cont-new.tex! ! TeX capacity exceeded, sorry [number of strings=100]. \endcsname ... [...] l.302 [\??ks] If you really absolutely need more capacity, you can ask a wizard to enlarge me. ///////////// So I need to look into the texmf.cnf and change things there and try again. I did "texexec --make" which went great so the system works better than the stuff I installed myself on my main machine... > To be even worse, the install program downloads some > stuff on the disk first, and deletes it as it finishes. > The result is that there is some free space on the disk > at the end of the installation (more then 30MB in my > case). You mean that space is an unusable blocked but empty/redundant piece of hard disk after installation? I must also find out how/where to insert the latest ConTeXt update, but I seem to remember there is/was some small manual in PDF format by Hans Hagen about the issue on their web site. Groet! Frans
