Oh, how nice. I suppose you were able to get a good screenshot of LyX
--> View --> Tex Information --> Latex classes (*.cls) which displayed a
partial list of your installed classes?
It displayed the whole lot, including the ones I have written locally
(which are in $TEXMFLOCAL). Interesting -- despite the LyX RPM having
insisted at install time on wanting the RH tetex installed as a
dependency, once installed without it it seems to recognise my TeX
Collection installation perfectly happily. But this may have been due
to stuff being left over from a previous (partial) install.
I think
that this a good screenshot for documenting a proper installation
since that area sometimes fails to resolve due to usr mistakes.
It's a very good test, yes. My screenshot in
http://research.silmaril.ie/latex/chapter2.html#editors
is rather out of date.
The Windows installation is easy,
We shall see. I'll be installing it under XP/SP2 on a system with the
TeX Collection (MiKTeX+TeXnicCenter) preinstalled.
This has been very useful for some projects of my own as well, which
need to be able to recognise a working TeX installation. Thank you all
very much for your help.
