File searches in TeX normally uses a cache-ing database instead of pounding the dis, and the mktexlsr command updates that database. I was going to point you to the wiki for more information, but the information there is about OpenSuse, and will probably not help you.

Re: [NTG-context] Label loops within a XeConTeXt document
how do I change \startTeXtexts \dorecurse{10}{\TeXtext{\recurselevel}{$x_{\recurselevel}$}} \stopTeXtexts so that I can print labels from x_0 up to x_9? Do I need to use \defineconversion and \convertnumber? No, use \dostepwiserecuse. The general syntax is \dostepwiserecurse {from} {to} {step} {action} so \dostepwiserecurse {0} {9} {1} I guess it must be \dostepwiserecurse {0} {9} {1} {} {\TeXtext{\recurselevel}{$x_{\recurselevel}$} should work. I have tried that, but sometxt(0) prints nothing. Anyway, I have solved it like this: \startTeXtexts \TeXtext{0}{$x_0$} \dorecurse{30}{\TeXtext{\recurselevel}{$x_{\recurselevel}$}} \stopTeXtexts Thanks again!

Also, be aware that the TeX distribution coming with your linux is ancient (most probably teTeX). pdfTeX version is very old and you might not be able to run the latest ConTeXt. SuSE distributes ConTeXt as well, although it's probably an old one. In any case you will have to update LModern fonts as well once you manage to do mktexlsr and build the formats. You might also experience problems with ruby vs. perl binaries. See http://wiki.contextgarden.net/TeTeX_3.0_installation#Install_a_Latin_Modern_font_update and pay extra attention to ruby scripts.
