Could those of you who have successfully implemented the Lyx 1.4.2 or .3 in your Linux distribution tell so (and give some hints if their were minor or major difficulties how to avoid them)? It would help those people like me who use LyX as the main tool to choose a suitable distr and not fiddle around with the current one. I for instance try so far unsuccessfully to implement Lyx 1.4.3 in my (Debian) Kanotix 2006. There are dependencies on other packages which I with my low PC-IQ am not able to solve so far. Wolfgang
