This is slightly suboptimal at the moment. My suggestion would be the following: - fetch the latest minimals for 64-bit linux - remove texmf-context and replace it with the one from your old machine (alternatively you could fetch that version of ConTeXt from GIT) - check which version of LuaTeX you have on the old 32-bit box (it's probably beta-0.79.1) - fetch that version from SVN from http://svn.contextgarden.net/suite-bin/tex/x86_64-linux (if it's that version, just checkout r197) - you might need to replace mtxrun from the old version (or maybe I forgot another thing or two) Everything else should keep working unless some font names changed in the meantime. Alternatively start with your old 32-bit tree and just add the texmf-linux-64 tree from the new installation to it (of course make sure to replace luatex and potentially other scripts in that tree).
