Of course, looking into it I graasped that now. Why on earth can mtxrun not simply load the main texmf.cnf like any other program in the TeX world and initialize the values from there I ask myself. I am slowly giving up on ConTeXt. It is changing in arbitrary directions far too often, and still things like multi-user support are not here since ages. I know, it is primary Hans' system and it has to work primarily on his computer, but that means that distributing it within any distribution system is plain pain :-( All that of course relates only to MkIV. I guess I will just add one sentence to the README.Debian: MkIV is not suppored on Debian. If you know how to set it up you can do it yourself and educate the maintainer, otherwise simply use MkII or the ConTeXt minimals. Sad but true.

The moment at which two people approaching from opposite ends of a long passageway, recognise each other and immediately pretend they haven't.
