Hi,

I have Nokia N800. It is a Linux (Debian-based) "PDA" with an ARM processor and only LaTeX package. I would like to install the minimal ConTeTt distribution on it, but I haven't found binaries for this architecture. Can I find these binaries somewhere? I like minimal ConTeXt distribution, becose it isn't too big and it works well. But if you have a better idea, how to install ConTeXt to my device, I'd like to try it.

Wow! Interesting. If you have LaTeX already running, it probably comes with binaries as well. It might be enough to have pdfTeX and mpost available (perhaps also kpse[something]). Then you take justtex.zip, and, say, linuxtex.zip and unzip both. In texmf-linux/bin you have different programs, but most of them are either scripts which should work fine, or programs you probably won't need anyway (afm2tfm, afm2pl, dvipdfmx, dvipos etc.) Copy pdftex and mpost (and kpse* just to be sure) from your latex distribution into that binary folder. You might need to adapt "setuptex" script a bit (it does some automatic recognition of platform etc.), but apart from that, running . setuptex should than work as on any other platform (unless ...). Note that the distribution is almost 300 MB, but most of it is taken by "old-font-junk". If you don't need any special fonts, you can simply delete everything inside texmf-*/fonts/tfm/* (except public/lm), as well as most other folders inside fonts. You can also try to compile LuaTeX from sources, but there's no guarantee that it will work. If it compiles without problems, feel free to ask again how to install it (in that case you can delete even more files from the minimal tree). Mojca
