I had an idea to create a visual installation guide for absolute
beginners. The background is that TeX actually is very scary (300 MB
in thousands of files...). If I shall ever persuade my parents,
friends, etc to install LyX, I think they need a very concrete guide
so that they can compare their screens with screen dumps.
So I created a very first attempt to such a guide, which you can find
here:
http://www.am.chalmers.se/~anek/temp/LyX_www/LyXonMac.html
The focus is on Mac-users. I plan on continue with how to use/install
templates, some troubleshooting and then just leave links to where
"platform independent" use is described, e.g. http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/
NewInLyX14
Hopefully it can be ready for the 1.4 release.
All comments & suggestions are welcome.
