Luigi, you can download the compressed iso image at a CTAN mirror under / systems/texlive/Images. It's 935 MB, so if you're on a slow connection, you'll be back next week... Then, refer to the installation instructions on the wiki: http:// wiki.contextgarden.net/TeX-live The most important thing is that after installation (befor you try to build the formats etc.), you should make sure that the new binaries come in your $PATH before anything else, so something like export PATH="/usr/local/texlive/2007/bin/i386-linux $PATH" should get you going. Once that is done, everything else is almost automatic: the kpathsearch library will find the other parts of the TeX installation relative to the place where its own binaries are, so when you invoke fmtutil-sys --all, all the format files will be placed in the new trees. If you decide you want to revert to your old system, simply remove /usr/local/texlive/2007/bin/i386-linux from your path again. I hope I'm not forgetting anything important... Thomas
