I would suggest that you download a complete TeX distibution from CTAN. If you decide to exclusively use CONTEXT then a minimal installation as provided by PRAGMA(Hans Hagen) can be recommended! - I use both the texlive and the Context-installation of tex. http://www.pragma-ade.com/context/linuxtex.zip.bz2 http://www.pragma-ade.com/context/macosxtex.zip.bz2 http://www.pragma-ade.com/context/mswintex.zip.bz2 Success and let me know how things move on.
