Installing minimals is sometimes a problem. Because of this I wrote a BASH script to automate it. Attached is the script I wrote to easily install the minimals. It installs in ${HOME}/ConTeXt but because I work with DRY it is easily changed. It generate almost no output: 20:47:01: fetch script 20:47:02: first setup 20:53:23: generate MKII 20:54:07: generate XeTeX 20:54:49: generate MKIV 20:55:18: Installing/updating ConTeXt took 497 seconds 20:55:18: before using ConTeXt you have to run: '. /home/cecil/ConTeXt/tex/setuptex' But the output can be found in ${HOME}/ConTeXt/install.log if needed. -- Cecil Westerhof
