Is Minimals ready for non-developers to use?

["Tom" <Tom@tuxedo-press.com>]

Dalyoung,

I attempted to install Minimals on my Windows system--twice--to no avail. I
selected the current option because I don't want to be constantly updating
the software when I am not using anything that remotely resembles cutting
edge features. I am using a short, lower-case directory name as suggested.
MKII appears to work fine but I get the following messages when I try to
compile Hello.tex:

MTXrun | forcing cache reload
MTXrun | resolvers: loading configuration file
'C:/ctm/context/tex/texmf/web2c/texmfcnf.lua'
MTXrun | resolvers
MTXrun | resolvers
MTXrun | resolvers
MTXrun | the resolver databases are not present or outdated
MTXrun | resolvers: using suffix based filetype 'lua'
MTXrun | resolvers: using suffix based filetype 'lua'
MTXrun | resolvers: remembering file 'mtx-context.lua'
MTXrun | resolvers: using suffix based filetype 'lua'
MTXrun | unknown script 'context.lua' or 'mtx-context.lua'

I also get similar errors when attempting to run the following:

mtxrun --selfupdate
mtxrun --generate
luatools --generate
context --make

From the message archives I see that others have had similar problems but I
don't understand what the suggested fixes were. One massage stated that the
instructions on ConTeXtGarden were deprecated, but I don't know if the
instructions have been changed since that time.

Do you have any idea what the problem might be?

Dear Tom,



What version are you using? 

I am using minimal not TeXlive2010. Of course, there are some bugs in beta.
But it would be fixed soon.
Moreover, you can have more than one Minimal folder. So it is easy to use
stable version if the beta has bugs.



BTW, where did you read to use front part instead of frontmatter? 

There was a thread whose title is "Roman Page numbers".
And among the mails on 2009. 2. 4, there was a sample written by Wolfgang .

\definestructureconversionset[frontpart:pagenumber][][romannumerals]
\definestructureconversionset[bodypart:pagenumber] [][numbers]

\setuplist[chapter][pageconversionset=pagenumber]

\startstructureblockenvironment[frontpart]

\setupuserpagenumber[numberconversion=romannumerals]
\setuppagenumber[number=1]

\stopstructureblockenvironment

\startstructureblockenvironment[bodypart]

\setuppagenumber[number=1]

\stopstructureblockenvironment

\starttext

\startfrontmatter

\completecontent[criterium=all]

\chapter{Intro}

\input tufte

\stopfrontmatter

\startbodymatter

\chapter{knuth}

\input knuth

\stopbodymatter

\stoptext

Mailing list is a good place for me to learn ConTeXt. There are so many
things which are not described in the manual.
I cannot give you a solution. But many experts who are reading this list
will give you a solution.

Cheers,

Dalyoung
