an alternative is: 

mkdir /usr/local/mytex 
cd /usr/local/mytex 
wget http://www.pragma-ade.com/contextt/linuxtex.zip.bz2 
bunzip2 linuxtex.zip.bz2
unzip linuxtex 
chmod -R 755 
. setuptex /usr/local/mytex
mktexlsr 
texexec --make --alone --all

every time after that 

. /usr/local/setuptex /usr/local/setuptex 

should give you a minimal context tree (i develop on a windows machine, so that is the tree we use on the linux application servers) 

(take a look at cont-sys.tex to see how we set up our context) 

(there is also mswintex.zip.bz2 and macosxtex.zip.bz2)
