We could have a network installer and a full installer. I really think the two installers should merge.
Exactly what I mean. There should be one standard and official installer that contains only LyX itself but downloads and installs all required components automatically (if they do not yet exist on the system). This installer will be completely free (GPL).
For CD distribution or administrators there can be an alternative one with everything included.
If we are going to wait a week or two for some important 1.4.1 fixes, I think there is time enough to make a good start with the 1.4 Windows series and provide an installer without license issues that just works "out of the box", like a Windows user expects.
But I'm only going to work on such a thing if there is absolute consensus. Joost
