Hi.  I'm a new ConTeXt user.  I'm installing over TeTeX.  I know that
TeTeX already has ConTeXt support, but I want to use a newer ConTeXt
than came with my TeTeX distribution.

I'm following the directions in the ConTeXt installation manual.

I unzipping the ConTeXt archive,  Then I made symlinks to all the .pl
files, like:

  ln -s texexec.pl texexec

and made sure that all the links I made were in my search path.

I ran `fmtutil --edit' and saw that everything looked ok.  But, when I
run `fmtutil --all', I get:

I do have this file, though:

----------------------------------------------------------------------
bash-2.04# pwd
/usr/share/texmf
bash-2.04# find . -name syst-pln.tex
./tex/context/base/syst-pln.tex
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Anyway, I pressed on added `map +context.map' to my pdftex.cfg file.
Then I copied texexec.rme to texexec.ini and ensured that TeXShell was
set to tetex.  Then I tried `texexec --make en de nl' and got:

Here I gave up.  Any ideas?  Also, should I have even done `fmtutil
--all'?  The documentation mentions this command but isn't clear on
whether it should be done.

thanks,
