One of the benefits of context minimals is that you can install multiple ve= rsions in parallel, which allows the user to update frequently without the = risk of breaking something for long-term projects. Specifically, you can ke= ep a "frozen" version of context for long-term projects and insta= ll a newer version in parallel for newer projects.
For sure! My environment looks as follows:

export CONTEXT_HOME=3D/opt/context
export PATH=3D"$PAT= H:...:$CONTEXT_HOME/tex/texmf-linux-64/bin:..."

The /opt/context directory is a symbolic link, which eases switching= between versions: I seldom have to change the environment variables settin= gs.

So, your suggestions should be included as a separate script and not as par= t of the default. Then there is the question of providing an uninstall scri= pt as well...

Using a ConTeXt-specific envir= onment variable (e.g., LMTX_HOME) would make uninstalling a matter of remov= ing it from the PATH and registry (on Windows, anyway). Here are the curren= t instructions:

Is there a way we can eliminate steps 3 -= 6 for Windows installs?
