Subject: lyx on windows (and printing notes)
argh!! LyXWinInstaller requires admin privileges :/
i managed to install it using the LyX 1.3.6 installer after installing
minsys and python 2.3 (2.4 requires admin privileges :/)
i'll try to install miktex and gs tomorrow. once i've installed them, i can
simply add the directories in the preferences and reconfigure?
SH: The best way to do this is have your helper applications
installed before you install LyX, so that LyX just recognizes them.
You might have trouble installing Miktex if you are behind
a network firewall. I haven't tried it. If you have trouble, try
downloading the Miktex cd and installing from the cdrom,
rather than using an internet connection. There is also software
to extract cd images to your harddrive, and then install from
there. Normally, if you install the helper apps after LyX, you
need to run Edit-->Reconfigure, close and then open LyX.
Installing any new program can be controlled by the Network
Admin; they can set a policy to prohibit it. Sometimes you
can boot up your laptop using your personal settings/profile.
This information may benefit others if not you.
This is for people with laptops who have to change
their network settings from home to office to maybe
network gaming at a friends house. I think 4 profiles
can be chosen. http://www.iljaherlein.de/netsetman/
