TeXLive 2008

["Thomas A. Schmitz" <thomas.schmitz@uni-bonn.de>]

Hi all, Hans, Taco,

this is kind of a continuation of the thread about installers etc. I'm  
currently test-driving TeXLive 2008 and was wondering if we could make  
it a bit easier for new users to just try out ConTeXt. The binaries  
reside in <tl2008-directory>/2008/bin/<arch>; the installer gives the  
choice to put symlinks in system directories. Would it make sense to  
place some ConTeXt symlinks into the bin directory? For Unixoid  
systems, I am thinking of these:

mtxrun -> ../../../2008/texmf-dist/scripts/context/lua/mtxrun.lua
luatools -> ../../../2008/texmf-dist/scripts/context/lua/luatools.lua

and maybe place the stub "context" into this bin directory as well. I  
don't know how this would work for widnoze. I'm thinking of a  
potential casual user who has just installed TeXLive and should be  
able to simply run a "Hello World" document by typing "context  
myfile." Does that make sense?

Thomas
