If I understand Hans's mail right, he was not installing from the image, but rsyncing his trees with TeXLive, and that's where the error was. I've been running the development version for at least three months now (even when it still was called 2006...) and haven't had any troubles, especially wrt to fonts and packages. On a linux or OS X box, I would even recommend installing it alongside the minimal and switch between them to test things, but I have no idea if/how this is possible on winblows.

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...

Hello Idris, today I've just installed TeX-live on a new machine with just this command: rpmbuild --rebuild --force http://pmrb.free.fr/texlive/texlive.nosrc.rpm On such an installation I only need to execute "updateConTeXt.sh" to update the ConTeXt-part when a new release comes out.

I installed the context related material in the folder ../tex/context/ third/pgf The rest went into ../tex/generic/pgf. Beyond this you need to fetch the xkeyval package and put it into .../ tex/latex/xkeyval or similar. After updating the filedatabase it should work.
