To come back to an earlier discussion in this list about TeXLive and ProTeXt (aka MiKTeXLive, if I can propose this new denomination), proTeXt-1.3 IS a MikTeX distribution with the TeXLive 2005 files (thats's why its size is 406 Mo compressed and near 700 Mo decompressed). IMHO, the only argumnet for using TeXLive on Windows is the similarity of the TDS on the various platforms (MiKTeX only knows texmf and localtexmf, which is less powerful than the texmf, texmf-dist, texmf-var, texmf-local structure of TeXlive). As proTeXt offers a very complete distribution, I tend to recommend installing it first, the run a LyX installer (ignoring the applications which come with proTeXt like Winshell, GS, and such). Both proTeXt and the installer may be burnt to provide a LyXWin CD, prone to distribution to people having a low bandpass connection, or no connection at all. The LyXWin CD itself can be distributed, unless there are legal issues, as an ISO image (using jigdo e.g.) Regards -- Jean-Pierre
