For "I urgently need to use new ConTeXt" the easiest way to explain is
to download
    http://www.pragma-ade.com/context/install/justtex.zip
    http://www.pragma-ade.com/context/install/linuxtex.zip
unzip them and then use
   cd tex
   . setuptex
   texexec --make --all

and then compile your documents (from the same shell).

But what exactly goes wrong if you overwrite your old files in "texmf"
with the new ones from
http://www.pragma-ade.com/context/beta/cont-tmf.zip and then try to
run "texexec --make --all"? Missing environmental variables perhaps?

There are many "Installation" pages on the wiki, so if they don't suit
it's best to update them/add information about other possibilities and
systems.
