How do I make convert to Roman letter page numbering to numerical page numbering?

[Sung Nae Cho]

Hello,

Here is the page order of my thesis:

title
abstract
acknowlegdment
table of content
list of figures
Chapter 1
Chapter 2
I am trying to have Roman Letter page numbering for "Title",  
"Abstract",  "Acknowledgment",  "Table of Contents" , and "List of 
Figures".   Then from Chapter 1, Chapter 2, I would like to switch to 
numerical page numbering starting with 1, 2, 3 ...., etc.

How do I do this?

I have used the recommendation from "Tips & Tricks" link at Lyx webpage, 
i.e., in preamble

\pagenumbering{roman}
\let\myTOC\tableofcontents
\renewcommand\tableofcontents{%
\myTOC
\clearpage
\pagenumbering{arabic}
}
This however, makes page number of "List of Figures" to 1 and Chapters 
start with 2, 3, ....., etc.

Is there anyway I can make "list of Figures" page to have Roman Letter 
pagenumber and Chapters to start with Arabic numbering 1, 2, 3... etc?

Thank you very much.

Yours sincerely,
