It's happening to me that I have to travel to a place where there's no broadband access, and I'd like to take ConTeXt with me. So I can't just run the installer and rsync the trees. Now, the question is: is it safe to tarball the ConTeXt root directory with executable and texmf trees, and move it around (on another machine)? Or are there hardcoded paths that prevents this?
No, there are no hardcoded paths. You may even fetch both linux and linux-64 architectures in parallel (or all the architectures), so that it will work on any architecture. The only "somehow hardcoded" path is the name of folder inside luatex-cache, but that's easy to change/recover (you may simply delete contents of luatex-cache and rerun mtxrun --generate). Mojca
