I can print a webpage in Konqueror, but am unable or unsure how to export from Lyx to Postscript. When I click on file (after creating a test document), then export, the following options are available: ASCII, DVI, Latex, and PDF. I wonder if my installation is incomplete. To install I did an "apt-get install Lyx" (in Debian/Linux). I assumed that this would install everything that I needed to use Lyx. But according to the tutorial I should be able to click on view->DVI (after creating a test file), and a new window should pop up. Nothing happens. The tutorial says I need a dvi viewer (e.g. xdvi) and a postscript converter (e.g. dvips). Perhaps they have to be installed separately? I searched the Debian packages and could not find xdvi or dvips. Thanks, Peter Christensen
