desktops, etc...
Hence, for the time being, I'll ke

command similar to
ctxtools --updatecontext might be provided in the future.

Why can't the binaries be updated that way (why aren't we supposed to) ?

Hi,
I've have Ubuntu 8.04 running in a VirtualBox under WXP. No dual boot setup
necessary any more. How Cool ! Works like a charm - apart from a USB printer
problem.
Installed TeX, ConTeXt and XeTeX through the Package Manager (to test
whether it worked).
