There is an easier way. Download the source files from the unstable distribution--find them using the packages search available at www.debian.org; search for 'lyx' in the unstable tree. Then, use dpkg-source -x *.dsc to unpack the source. Next, go into the debianized source tree, edit debian/changelog to change the version number to something like 1.0.4-1.slink. Run 'debian/rules binary' as root and you will have a .deb file to install. You definitely need many of the packages listed below, but the sgml packages are probably not needed unless you require sgml support in lyx. Note that I already did all of this for 1.0.2, 1.0.3, and last night for 1.0.4. If you do it my way, you have a debianized lyx that can be easily replaced later using dpkg. Cheers. > 1.
