But it really says "as of today, skip the pacakge tetex", and I believe that "today" actually refers to quite a while ago, since that warning has been on the web site for a long time. Tetex went through a complete re-packaging and upgrade at cygwin during the Fall of 2002. And both before and after the cygwin upgrade, and through the course of several LyX upgrades, I never saw any problems with tetex + lyx, even for a book-size project (although probably with fewer fonts and packages being used than might be the case in some projects.) Of course, I am in no position to offer any guarantees, but my experience with cygwin's tetex has been quite positive. Plus, if there are tex-related problems (like running out of memory), the fact that more people (around here, anyway) use tetex than other distributions is a plus. ..dac -- ================================================================== David A.
