That was indicated in my reply to your first question; quoting myself: I would advise, however, to install additional packages either to the local texmf tree or to you personal tree. These are defined in the file /etc/ texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf as TEXMFLOCAL = /usr/local/share/texmf and TEXMFHOME = $HOME/TEXMF The point is: when SuSE installs a new version of texlive, it will simply overwrite your files (even if you have edited them) or delete the old directories. Moreover, if you make a mistake here, you can simply erase the directory and start over. That's why it is considered good practice to keep ths distribution files and your local/personal additions separate. > > Right. My Context is from 2007.

SuSE's texlive installation has some problems, esp. when you try to use luatex; 2. the latest ConTeXt release will also need the latest latin modern fonts, which (I guess) are not available as a package for SuSE yet. 3. This being said, it is entirely possible to update ConTeXt within your SuSE texlive installation (I have been doing this for several years now). - create directory /usr/local/share/texmf - cd /usr/local/share/texmf - sudo wget http://www.pragma-ade.com/context/current/cont-tmf.zip - sudo unzip cont-tmf.zip - sudo texhash - sudo texexec --make --all --pdftex - sudo texexec --make --all --xtx >> Which manual says >> that ConTeXt expects pure ASCII input? > > This one: mp-cb-en.pdf.

We've been collecting such things for a while now, but this is seriously misleading. Hans, any chance of regenerating the m*-cb-en.pdfs and taking this paragraph out?
