How to install latest version ConTeXt on a Slackware 10.1 system?

[R S Ananda Murthy]

Hello,

I have Slackware 10.1 system with full tetex installation. How to 
install the latest version of ConTeXt on this system? Where can I find 
installation instructions?

Thanks for your help,

Anand

what tetex version comes with slackware 10.1?

There is some information on the wiki on installing context, but these
should be updated and extended a bit....

Slackware 10.1 ships tetex 2.0.2 which is completly out-of-date.

It's better to get tetex 3.0 from src and build yourself.

Oh, yes, absolutely. And I felt bad that it took me so long to install
tetex 3 at contextgarden.net.

TeTeX 3.0 is available from the slackware-current tree, so there is no
need to build everything from the sources, upgradepkg solves all the
problems :)
