feedback on the wiki Linux_User_Installation article

Hello list, I'm trying to make a fresh minimal install following the wiki article 'Linux User Installation'. All goes fine till the 'texexec --make --alone' command. It says me 'the file 'texexec.rb' is not found'. I can copy it in the texmf-linux/bin directory but it trigs other errors. I can correct that error by recursively copying all the files of the texmf-local/scripts/context/ruby/ directory into the texmf-linux/bin/ one. Should I update the wiki with that information or is it a problem tied to my system, or maybe a problem of the minimal context distribution/binaries files? Thanks for your replies. -AJ

I've found the mistake. I've forgotten to run setuptex or equivalent before running texexec --make --alone. I'll update the wiki in consequence. Bye -AJ
