This would also make much easier to give acces to context to beginer (without the need of texmf experience).
There is indeed such an iso image (100 MB including all doc). But .. as an experiment you try the following: (1) download one of: http://www.pragma-ade.com/context/texsync.rb http://www.pragma-ade.com/context/texsync.exe (2) run: texsync --update --tree=doc --destination=<yourpath> --force with <yourpath> being for instance (on windows) d:/tex/documentation (3) and/or: texsync --update --make --tree=doc --destination=<yourpath> --force with <yourpath> being for instance (on windows) d:/tex/ Given that you have perl installed, the file 'setuptex.bat' (there is also a linux one) in the texroot should provide you the minimal system you want. The destination is optional, and when omitted, it will use kpsewhich to determine the root; a first time there is probably no such root. Hans
