apart from this: I think that it is advisable to keep older ConTeXt versions around, so you can easily switch between them. I usually install them in /opt/context/<versionnumber> with the follwoing shell-skript (linux). It needs a working tex environment (generating the format) and the cont-tfm.zip in the current dir. It takes only a few seconds to install the new ConTeXt version and I never forget anything. See "requirements" below. On your system you might have to change it a little bit.
You can also let different installed context versions exist side by side, each in their own tree with their own format files. This lets you run different Context versions simultaneously in different xterm windows. You can do this by setting an environment variable CTPATH to the root of the desired Context tree and have a line such as TEXMF = {$CTPATH;!!$TEXMFLOCAL;!!$TEXMFMAIN} in your highest-priority texmf.cnf. -- Siep Kroonenberg siep@elvenkind.com
