new context beta and syst-etx.tex

[Ed L Cashin]

Hi!  I've run into a snag installing the new context beta.  I unzipped
it into my texmf directory, copied the perl scripts to /usr/local/bin
(without .pl extension), and copied texexec.rme to texexec.ini.  

When doing "fmtutil --all" or "texexec --make en nl uk", I get
complaints about syst-etx.tex:

    skipping \input in plain
    skipping \tenrm in plain
    ))
    ! I can't find file `syst-etx.tex'.
    l.31 \input syst-etx.tex

    Please type another input file name: 
    ! Emergency stop.
    l.31 \input syst-etx.tex

    No pages of output.
    Transcript written on cont-uk.log.
    fmtutil: `pdfetex -ini -efmt=cont-uk -progname=context *cont-uk.ini'
    failed.

                TeX binary : pdfetex
                 format(s) : en nl uk

... but that file is there:

    [root@nilda texmf]# find . -name syst-etx.tex
    ./tex/context/base/syst-etx.tex

Do you know why it isn't seeing syst-etx.tex?  On a long shot I tried
running the format generation in texmf/tex/context/base, but that
didn't help.

I am using the latest tetex (1.0.7) and the latest Linux pdftex
binaries (pdfTeX Version 3.14159-14f-released-20000525 (Web2C 7.3.2x)
and pdfeTeX Version 3.14159-14f-released-20000525-2.1 (Web2C
7.3.2x)). 

Thanks in advance!

Um ... I think my brain has melted in the Georgia heat.  Of course I
had forgotten to run mktexlsr (I should follow my own advice!).  Sorry
for the noise.
