Re: ConTeXt minimals installation problem

[Mohamed Bana <mbana.lists@googlemail.com>]

here's how i did it (, if i remember correctly).

get a a luatex binary and dump it into the dir of the last command

  $ . ~/context.distro/tex/setuptex
  ...
  $ which luatex
  

does this work?

  svn cat
http://svn.contextgarden.net/minimals/bin/tex/linux-64/current/luatex/bin/luatex@030 >`which luatex`


see;
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/ConTeXt_Minimals#Reverting_to_an_older_installation

I use 
  
  ConTeXt - 2008.10.31 13:58

so in my case it's

  sh ./first-setup.sh --context=2008.10.31

you might want to look at the thread i started;
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.tex.context/49826/focus=49831.


good luck.
