That would be a bad idea. First of all - it's much better to install minimals in parallel. If nothing else, if the latest beta breaks, you will still have a working ConTeXt somewhere. But the main reason is that even if you put the latest ConTeXt into TEXMFHOME, you will still experience problems because: - you need the latest luatex - you need the latest mtxrun script - you need to fix texmfcnf.lua (you could do this without breaking the rest of TL though, but you need to do it manually) > Also, should OSFONTDIR then point to /usr/local/texlive/2010/texmf/ or to > something else? This is usually the folder where your system stores fonts. LuaTeX can already find all the fonts in TEXMF tree, you probably want to tell LuaTeX where all the other fonts are. If you don't need any other fonts but those that are shipped with TL, you may leave this variable empty.
