Yes I used this last address from the last message by Jean-Marc
Lasgouttes and it worked.
Concerning the issues you mention
1) Times font does not work properly, but times-roman does.
2) I have the second problem you mention, even after recombination (I
only see latexpdfm and ps2ascii in the view menu), but the new
buttons allow to make dvi and pdf files and it says it uses pdflatex.
3) The problem I had with previews not working seems solved
4) The previews are still far too big.
I work on a mac PPC, mac os 10.4.9, latex installed with i-installer

The usual cautions apply: this is beta software, and is apt to
have some bugs leading to crashes. While I don't expect there to
be any major problems, and while I have been using developmental
versions LyX-1.5.0 on my own documents without any trouble, I also
religiously make backups.
Two issues for Mac deserve special mention. The first concerns the
display fonts (LyX > Preferences > Screen fonts). Some fonts (such
as Times) do not display properly on screen; Helvetica is
displayed instead. This will not affect typeset output. The second
concerns typesetting. Before you run LyX for the first time, make
sure you run the installer. Then run LyX and check the View menu
to make sure options like PDF (pdflatex) appear. If the menu is
mostly empty, you'll probably be able to fix it by reconfiguring
LyX (LyX > Reconfigure) and then restarting. If you have this
problem, please report it to the list along with details
concerning your setup: Intel or PPC Mac as well as how you
installed LaTeX (i-Installer, MacTeX, fink, macports, etc.).
LyX-1.5.0 has been gaining increasing polish and stability as we
move to a final release. I urge you to try it and report your
experiences with it to the list.
Thanks.
