Hello,
What needs to be done to include greek fonts on top of the minimal

Well, it does say in a pretty obvious manner: you'll need to install
the cbgreek fonts, including the map file. However, I'm not sure it
will work OOTB; the cbgreek fonts have changed a bit, and s-grk-00.tex
isn't really maintained (file date is Oct. 2004). If you're using
luatex, you don't really need this module anyway; you simply choose a
font which has Greek characters and input in Unicode Greek.

[a bit OT]
Do you know some fonts Arial/Helvetica like that are good for Greek ?
I have some samples under mkii, and I would like to test them under mkiv
minimals.

I mix Gentium with sans on my slides and find it acceptable; Arial Unicode of course has Greek, but is really ugly, as is Lucida Grande (on the Mac). Have a look at http://www.greekfontsociety.gr/pages/en_typefaces1.html , maybe there's something you'll like.
