Dear ConTeXt folks, to test presentation styles the Wiki [1] lists the following command to execute. texexec --pdf --mode=demo s-pre-xx Unfortunately that does not work on my Debian Sid/unstable system (TeXLive 2009). I reported it to the Debian BTS [2]. $ texexec --pdf --mode=demo /usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/s-pre-00 MTXrun | kpse fallback with progname 'context' initialized in 0.02 seconds TeXExec | processing document '/usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/s-pre-00' TeXExec | no ctx file found TeXExec | tex processing method: context TeXExec | TeX run 1 TeXExec | writing option file s-pre-00.top TeXExec | using randomseed 1037 TeXExec | tex engine: pdftex TeXExec | tex format: cont-en This is pdfTeX, Version 3.1415926-1.40.10 (TeX Live 2009/Debian) restricted \write18 enabled.

It might be something changed because the Wiki page was last edited in May 2007.
