an additional note:
it is important to keep in mind that when you don't set TEXMFCNF and
TEXMF, ther eis a potential clash with existing tex installations; the
main reason for having setuptex in the minimals is that it permits many
parallel installations (users like taco and me often have many
'independent' istallations (for projects)
so, if the automatisms fail (i.e. you don't set TEXMF and TEXMFCNF
yourself and depend on luatools cum suis to figure out where the
configureations are) there is probably some interference with
environment variables; i.e. when you for instance install tetex (or when
the system came with it) you can be pretty sure that some variables are
set and cf tds/kpse environment variables take precedence); in that case
there is no way around overriding them at the shell level (as setuptex
does)
this also means that when you install the minimals allongside an
existing tex installation, you probably still need to use setuptex

there is an example contextcnf.lua file in the distribution that will
have the variables that we support in addition to the normal ones in
texmf.cnf (
