Hello world,
years ago I changed to lyx because of its stability and ability to
handle large documents (i.e. 900 pages catalogue). But since I updated
my computer from SuSE 7.0 to SuSE 7.1 with LyX 1.1.5fix1 a few weeks ago
I could not load that large document any more, because "tables < 5 are
not supported anymore" ... ? And I need a lot of them ...
So I upgraded to SuSE 7.2 recently, with Lyx 1.1.6, hoping the newer
version will have returned to that feature: The document can be loaded
again (it is nearly 6 MB big), but running LateX to see the dvi or
pdf-result _never_ends_ - even after hours! With the older versions
everything worked fine, expect that a LaTeX-run took up to 10 minutes,
but this - I think - is normal on a 200 MHz laptop :-)
Unfortunately, I cannot re-install the older SuSE-distribution, because
I gave the CDs away. And even if I had them here: "downgrading" the
distribution seems to mean to re-install the whole linux-system ...
Does anybody have any suggestions?
Thanx
Bernd
