Don't get your hopes too high for the LuaTeX from TeXLive 2008 ;) On Mon, Aug 11, 2008 at 5:29 PM, Mojca Miklavec wrote:

Hi,

How would I install that latest version of ConTeXt (the lua version) on *both* of the distributions mentioned. I occassionaly need to use LaTeX (especially on Windows), so I need MikTeX/Texlive running.

With MikTeX you cannot use LuaTeX (not to say that currently with MikTeX you cannot use ConTeXt at all :), but I often had MikTeX + ConTeXt minimals installed, and if I needed, I executed setuptex when I needed the minimals.

I would suggest you to install TeX Live 2008, and you'll get both LaTeX and LuaTeX working, also on Windows. You can always have a copy of minimals just to be sure that latest features are working, and enable them only when needed.

What if I install TeX Live 2008 and extract the following to a local tree?

Yes, it's perfectly fine if you just install this one into local tree (or maybe even into global - at least that's what I do). The rest is far less important. You only need to be aware that once you update a package in global tree, the local tree will still have precedence. Mojca
