Hi Bo,

last week you kindly changed the configure.py script to display immediately the currently checked LaTeX-page. This works perfectly when the user can see the printouts of the script but LyX currently hides them. The problem is the following: When a user installs LyX for the first time or has refreshed his LaTeX installation, the first start of LyX will run configure.py that invokes MiKTeX to install missing LaTeX-packages needed by LyX. Installing the packages could last up to 15 minutes; in this time the user get no response what is currently happening: The internet connections is under full use and LyX isn't started. To avoid this it would be cool if LyX displays the printout of configure.py as long as it runs in an appearing console window - this was the case with the old configure script.

Do you have an idea to reimplement this feature?

thanks and regards
Uwe
