I have just uploaded the tarball and the rpms to ftp.devel.lyx.org. A lot of small fixes has been applied since (the unannounced) first prerelease.
Even if I am not aware of any serious problems with pre2, you should be careful to backup your documents before trying this one out. The rpms are created against the xforms rpms that can be found in the same dir as the prerelease. Reports on installation and running this will be greately appreciated. Be it failure or success reports... ftp://ftp.devel.lyx.org/pub/lyx/pre/lyx-1.3.0pre2.tar.gz ftp://ftp.devel.lyx.org/pub/lyx/pre/lyx-1.3.0pre2-1.i386.rpm ftp://ftp.devel.lyx.org/pub/lyx/pre/lyx-1.3.0pre2-1.src.rpm -- Lgb
