The last time I installed LyX on winxp with a student the total installation time was about 20 minutes. This included the prerequisites like minsys, python etc. as well as tweaking the configuration to include our local thesis class, toolbar etc. I don't think this time is too long. It was not difficult either, thanks to the people who created the new installer. If you have any complaints about installation, configuration or erroneous error messages please put them in bugzilla with an exact description what you did, what happened and what you expected to happen. Otherwise the complaints will be forgotten, and nothing happens. Georg
