Hi,
For automatic environment setup, I think there are two values should
be changed for better directory support:
TEXMFCNF --> ...\texmf\web2c (why did it find texmf-local/context on
my machine ?)
TEXMF ---> {...} // add values like texmf-fonts, texmf-project,
texmf-extra, etc. defined in setuptex.bat.

I think the minimal installer can add more options. for example, which distribution to choose (MKIV or XeTeX or pdfTeX), which fonts to be download (TeXGyre, Kurier, Iwona...) according to the distribution (in MKIV and XeTeX, download otf, otherwise download type1 format). and if the user download MKII version, we should automatically check ruby, if not present, install it for the user.

Installer has just been fixed two days ago or so. It's a good thing that we already get bug reports/feature requests :) :) :) We're also collecting them on https://launchpad.net/context Installing ruby is something that's up to Vyatcheslav to implement.

Linux minimals for 64 bit has mpto and makempx and a simple file with btex and etex works fine with mkii.
