Hi all,

There now is a wiki page documenting the setup and maintenance of mkiv:

http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Running_Mark_IV

The page can still be improved upon (of course), so if you know of something that needs to be added or explained better, please do so. I wrote this page with the texlive 2008 users in mind, but I think most of it applies to the new context minimals as well.

This page is great. Thanks.

By the way, context on texlive2008 will be 2008.05.21. Mkii (pdftex as well as xetex) runs out of the box, no post-install intervention needed. But if someone is willing to do some extra tests, that will be much appreciated. How to beta-test texlive2008 is explained in

ftp://tug.org/texlive/tlnet/tldev/README

Is it possible to test texlive without uninstalling texlive2007 installed by a system package manager? Last time I tried texlive 2008, mkiv setup was reading texmf.cnf that came with system installed tl2007, and therefore could not find the correct files. I want to test tl2008, but at the moment cannot afford to uninstall tl2007.

it's installed in a 2008 subtree so it should be possible to run them alongside Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
