A normal user cannot even download first-setup.sh and install the files. But if he can then he can install context under his home and mkiv works ok -- no need to be root. This can be useful in a server that run context as service -- create a user that manage the context, a common pattern (apache, mysql, postgres, etc). About /opt , it's a location for add-on, and it's usually unused by standard distro (so one leaves the machine clean.): see http://www.pathname.com/fhs/pub/fhs-2.3.html#OPTADDONAPPLICATIONSOFTWAREPACKAGES In this situation the choice between homedir and /opt is of course a personal taste, and I prefer to install general applications (or applications that can be of general utility) under /opt . -- luigi ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________
