A version of MikTeX (called ProTeXt) packaged with files of TeXLive first came out with the 2004 TexLive distribution. Since then ProTeXt grows with its own version numbering (two releases since TeXLive-2004, the second one very recent). Should we understand this recent release of protext-1.3 as the MikTeX equivalent of TeXLive-2005 ? In that case, the self-extracting and self-installing feature of ProTeXt may fit better than TeXLive with the LyX Windows installation procedure, to get the same version of packages. Compared to the small, medium and large MikTeX installations, ProTeXt seems more complete (near 400Mo compressed, near 700 ready to install). Unless you like (and can) load the packages on the fly, it's worth spending an hour to get everything handy. -- Jean-Pierre
