Tried to install context minimals including the steps mktexlsr texexec --make --all No errors at this point. But when I tried to run pdftex I get the error message I can't find the format file `pdftex.fmt!' That file is not anywhere in my personal directory. It is however in my bigger texlive 2008 installation. The set command shows: TEXMFCACHE=/home/safer/context/tex/texmf-cache TEXMFOS=/home/safer/context/tex/texmf-linux TEXROOT=/home/safer/context/tex so that part is OK. Any hints?
You are using ConTeXt minimals. You are using texexec to generate the ConTeXt formats (cont-en.fmt etc.). Why would you expect a format file for pure pdftex to be produced?
