Tried to install context minimals including the steps
mktexlsr
texexec --make --all
No errors at this point. But when I tried to run pdftex
I get the error message
I can't find the format file `pdftex.fmt!'
That file is not anywhere in my personal directory. It is however in
my bigger texlive 2008 installation.
The set command shows:
TEXMFCACHE=/home/safer/context/tex/texmf-cache
TEXMFOS=/home/safer/context/tex/texmf-linux
TEXROOT=/home/safer/context/tex
so that part is OK.
Any hints?

Did you source setuptex ?
Under linux I do
. setuptext
in tex dir

This is the install script I am using. It might be a starting point
for you:
#!/bin/bash
CONTEXTVERSION="beta"
CONTEXTDIRECTORY=$HOME/TeX/context/$CONTEXTVERSION
rm -R $CONTEXTDIRECTORY
mkdir -p $CONTEXTDIRECTORY/tex
cd $CONTEXTDIRECTORY
ln -s $HOME/Library/texmf tex/texmf-local
#cp -R $HOME/Library/texmf/* tex/texmf-local
curl -o first-setup.sh http://minimals.contextgarden.net/setup/first-setup.sh
sh ./first-setup.sh >first-setup.log
cd tex
echo "installation context $CONTEXTVERSION minimals done"

I set up the folloiwng in my .bashrc:
source /home/safer/context/tex/setuptex
---which gave me the "set" values quoted before:
TEXMFCACHE=/home/safer/context/tex/texmf-cache
TEXMFOS=/home/safer/context/tex/texmf-linux
TEXROOT=/home/safer/context/tex
Without that line I just default to my texlive installation. There
is no pdftex.fmt file in my context-minimal install, anywhere.

You are using ConTeXt minimals. You are using texexec to generate the
ConTeXt formats (cont-en.fmt etc.). Why would you expect a format file
for pure pdftex to be produced?

puff ... true .
I was confused with plain.fmt ....
I'm getting older, nothing to say.
John, pdftex.fmt is a matter of something like
$> pdftex -ini <path_to_pdftex.tex> \\dump
You need a pdftex.tex , and there is not a pdftex.tex in minimals .
BTW why do you need pdftex if you have texexec ?

OK, so I can't use Context-minimals and still use pdftex. I
discovered years ago that many plain pdftex files would work with
texexec because Context is really an elaborate set of macros
depending on pdftex. I'll try texexec on my pdftex oriented file
and see if it works. I do most of my work in plain pdftex.

I don't know enough about plain (pdf)TeX to be of much help, but just
a few thoughts:
1. luatex does in fact produce a format file plain.fmt, and since
luatex should be pretty compatible, this may be a start.
2. There is absolutely no problem in having TeXLive and the ConTeXT
minimals installed side-by-side; I have it on all my computers, both
OS X and linux. I have two files with setup commands which I source
for using either system, and then I can have two terminal tabs/windows
open and use one or the other.
3. It should be easy to produce pdftex.fmt in the minimals; it just
lacks a tool such as fmtutil. But you could try and copy over etex.ini
for your texlive-installation and then run pdftex on it.

pdftex should work just fine, but the format is not generated by default.
You can use
texexec --make plain
but then you need to convince Hans to rename the format from plain.fmt
to pdftex.fmt (or you need to rename it yourself), but unless you use
some obscure packages (or fonts) then pdftex should work just fine.
Maybe we would need to add some font map entries, but add you requests
if you need them.

Oh ... I forgot about etex. Whenever I use plan I use it for extremely
simple things. But adding etex should be no big deal. I can do it, it
would only be nice to convince texexec (or context, I don't care) to
generate plain pdftex format with the proper name.

OK that works so far. Thanks!
The reason I don't just use texexec for everything is that Iike to
use eplain.tex and there is an obscure name conflict somewhere
between eplain.tex and context. Also I find font handling easier
in pdftex. Just a single statement is needed.

Can you a bit more specific what do you mean with this sentence.

Well if I want bitstream charter roman at 11.2pts I can say
\font\rm bchr8r at 11.2pt
and I am done.
Or I can define something called \fontsize and make it the referent
for all my font statements:
\newdimen\fontsize
\fontsize=11.2pt
\baselineskip= 1.1\fontsize
\font\rm bchr8r at \fontsize
\font\bo bchbo8t at 1.1\fontsize
...and so on. If I need the book a little longer I just change
\fontsize. I have even done tricks like this:
\fontfam=bch
\font\rm \fontfam r8r at \fontsize
Introducing a new font into TeX is never simple but I find it easier
if I don't have to construct (and debug) an elaborate chain of
font synonyms.
It may be the luatex has made life simpler (or at least more
exciting!) I will examine that prospect next. But right now I am
typesetting novels, memoirs and the like. The fewer variables I
have to contend with the better.
YMMV of course.

Use XeTeX or LuaTeX and you have no problem to use the font you like.

In MkIV you can write the above as:
\usemodule[simplefonts][size=11.2pt]
\setmainfont[CharterBT]
and when you want to make a global change of the font size you can do
this with
\setupsimplefonts[size=xxpt]
