Re: Texlive2008 and updating context

["Mehdi Omidali" <mehdioa@gmail.com>]

Thanks Mojca,
I have lutex 0.29 and tried to just copy files from cont-tmf to
texmf-dist but I also got an error that it can not find context.tex.
Could you please tell me which files do you copy to texmf-dist. Seems
that it is a better choice for now.
Thanks
