I updated the Linux installation pages on the wiki, mostly the Debian one, but also the tetex 3.0 page and I added a short entry for Ubuntu 6.10 (edgy). The Debian page now describes how to install using Norbert's context packages. It describes a system-wide install based on those and the texlive packages. Let me know if you find errors or problems (or just correct the errors on the page). Sorry about the nightmare per-user install instructions I put there before. -Sanjoy `A nation of slaves is always prepared to applaud the clemency of their master who, in the abuse of absolute power, does not proceed to the last extremes of injustice and oppression.'

Thanks Sanjoy for this help, i was wondering how to install new .deb context packages made by N.Preining but was blocked by 0.25 version of tex-common on ubuntu/edgy. I've noticed that on the first lines of debian install, one should add tug repository to /etc/apt/sources.list. Maybe it will be good (for low-end/copy-paste minded users like me) to tell to **update** (and not upgrade) after adding those entries and how to add gpg key to apt (that it's was retuned after such a command) I'm not modifying the corresponding wiki page because I don't feel of mature help in that field. Thanks again -- Olivier TURLIER

Whoops, fixed. Thanks.
and how to add gpg key to apt (that it's was retuned after such a command)
Not sure about this one. I've been ignoring the error until I can figure out where the gpg key lives. -Sanjoy `Not all those who wander are lost.' (J.R.R. Tolkien)

After googling a bit, I've succeed with $ gpg --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net --recv-keys 0x09C5B094 $ gpg --export --armor 0x09C5B094 | sudo apt-key add - 0x09C5B094 was found on an Nobert Preining mail signature. nota : $ sudo apt-get install debian-archive-keyring was not working as advised -- Olivier TURLIER

Thanks, that worked. I've added that information to the wiki.

Norbert's packages are not part of the official Debian packages (yet), so they are signed with a key not included in the debian-archive-keyring package. -Sanjoy `Not all those who wander are lost.' (J.R.R. Tolkien)
