Not the layout file. I've presentations created with beamer 2.x and 3.x using the same beamer.layout without problems.

sure, I was talking about beamer.cls

Powerdot is released under the lppl so we can deliver this with LyX too.


You should use _only_ the files from the local TeX distribution!


Why that? Using a file from CTAN couldn't harm, especially not a .layout

oh, it could! There is one golden rule: use _all_ files from the
the same source. And not the layout from CTAN and the style or
class file from the local installation.

file. I often use files directly from CTAN, for example when MiKTeX don't provide a cabinet file for a package, and it always worked.

also sure. What I want to say is, that _LyX itself_ should not
contain these files. They should be installed from the the local distribution, then you'll be sure, that you have always the right
one.
