Hi all,
I have some problem when using ConTeXt in tl08,

Thanks.

just use the minimals ... then you have the latest binaries and sources

Is there any advantage (for ConTeXt) of using the Texlive (other
than being multi-platform!) or other full xTeX distribution?
If the "minimal ConTeXt" is the only standard way of using a full
ConTeXt, then it could be rename "maximal" ;-)
or more seriously something lire "standard", "hot" or
"independant" (longish)

Yes. If you use _both_ ConTeXt and LaTeX (and some of us - including me
- are kind of forced to use LaTeX, too, because of:
* having a number of old LaTeX files which wuold be a trouble to
convert;
* sending papers to journals accepting LaTeX;
* writing LaTeX stuff to order)
Personally I'd find it inconvenient to have two TeX trees and having to
change my environment to use one or another. (Possibly, I could arrange
it so that I don't have to change any environment variables, but still,
since I don't need the state-of-the-art MkIV, texlive is ok for me.)

Well, it is "minimal" in the sense of dependencies, I guess.

tex live is fine for mkii but for mkiv you need recent binaries and
macros (tex live was frozen before the summer)

well, if you choose to install only one engine, then it's really much
smaller -)
(a full tex live installation is about 1.5 gig; i just run context dev
on top of tex live but in projects and such i use minimals)

and also in the sense that there is much left out that would never be
used at all; once luatex/mkiv is stable and once we have open type math
fonts, even more font stuff can go away (since xetex does not need it
either)
keep in mind that small trees run faster (when kpse is used)
also, they archive better (think of running 10 projects on a machine
where each needs a frozen tree)
another feature of the minimals is that by default they support
texmf-project and texmf-fonts which makes separation of project specific
files (and fonts) as well as commercial fonts more convenient.
