Humm.. that twists my brains. I commented the variable pointing to the  
binaries of TeXLive CD in ~/.profile
Anyway...

They seem two steps of giant for me (so far I have processed only one file  
with context, a pretty large one, 60 pp., but limiting myself to  
elementary features).
I think I will move away to Ubuntu or some other distro. At the moment I  
am unhappy with Suse (for other reasons than Tex).
For now I will give you a break (going on holiday).
Any advice about Tex friendly distros?
