Hello Wilbert, hello Aide, thank you very much for your quick response. But as the INSTALL.TXT says, you are able to test lyx before installing it by starting the program from the "src"-directory (and I really would like to test the installation before installing it because I _need_ LyX).
Thank you again Stephan -- Stephan E. Schlierf M.A. chief concept & design developer speed2web GmbH Gottlieb-Keim-Str. 23 95448 Bayreuth phone: ++49 921 99008612 fax: ++49 921 99008670 web: http//www.speed2web.de
