I write how I setup my "minimals-beta" on a linux box  ubuntu 8.04

1) mkdir -p /opt/luatex/minimals-beta
2) cd /opt/luatex/minimals-beta
2a) Now put here first-setup.sh (see contextgarden.net/minimals)
3)  ./first-setup.sh
4) cd tex
**IMPORTANT**
5) . setuptex
=============================
6) context --generate
7) context --make
8)Every time I start a mkiv session
as first step I do
cd /opt/luatex/minimals-beta/tex
. setuptext
to ensure correct initilization of env. variables.
9a)context --generate
9b)context --make
to unsure a clean session.
10) always use context to make pdf; ie compile yours files with
context basic-test.tex

If you open first-setup.sh and change this line near the end
mtxrun --verbose --script ./bin/mtx-update.lua --update --make --force
--engine=all --context=beta --tree=$PWD/tex $@
in
mtxrun --verbose --script ./bin/mtx-update.lua --update --make --force
--engine=all  --tree=$PWD/tex $@
and then
1) mkdir -p /opt/luatex/minimals
2)...
and so on
you can then end with a "minimals" installation (actually minimalsBIRTHDAY)

Actually I have
minimals-beta, minimals and  tl2008 completly unrelated
so each installations has is own fonts etc etc.
It's ok, because minimals and minimals-beta are not so huge and I want to be
sure that minimals-beta and minimals work
