Hello, I am new to ConTeXt and really wish to shift to it from LaTeX. I was trying to install ConTeXt archive (cont-tmf.zip) on my SuSe-10.1 linux machine, first unzip it to my texmf directory, then add context.map to the pdftex.cfg file. Finally I got stuck into generating cont-en.fmt format file. ===== suse:/usr/share/texmf# texexec --make en TeXExec 5.4.3 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2005 TeX hash binary : mktexlsr comment : hashing may take a while ... mktexlsr: Updating /etc/texmf/ls-R... mktexlsr: Updating /usr/local/share/texmf/ls-R... mktexlsr: /usr/share/texmf/ls-R lacks magic string.

You have to (re)run the "mktexlsr" command after unpacking the zip archive. File searches in TeX normally uses a cache-ing database instead of pounding the dis, and the "mktexlsr" command updates that database. I was going to point you to the wiki for more information, but the information there is about OpenSuse, and will probably not help you. Anyway, the link is: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Linux_Installation Best wishes, Taco
