Hi all, On the wiki at http://wiki.contextgarden.net/ConTeXt_Minimals/FAQ is says: "Blocked Firewall port You are most probably behind a firewall. Make sure that port 873 is open. If you cannot make any changes yourself and if your admin objects, you probably won't be able to use rsync for the distribution." Yes, I am behind a firewall. No, port 873 is not open. No, I cannot make any changes, and yes, my admin objects :-( So what's the alternative to using rsync? I used to use the zip file at http://www.pragma-ade.com/download-4.htm but that doesn't exist any more! I've now managed to screw up my MKIV installation somehow, so I desperately need some way of getting the beta release re-installed without rsync. Help!! Richard Converteam UK Ltd.

There is also http://minimals.contextgarden.net/pragma/ Maybe it doesn't contain the latest ConTeXt, but at least it should work (I can update it at any time, but I have a feeling that it now contains the latest "stable" release). An alternative is to use ssh port forwarding, but I'm not sure how this can be done (there have already been some discussions about that, so it must be somewhere in archives). Mojca
