nicolas, I can identify with your problem -- several years ago I tried to put together a presentation with beamer, and gave up. I turned to powerdot instead, and have generally found it to be very satisfactory. I think it is a standard class with LyX 1.5.1, and Ubuntu 7.10 should have a new enough version of texlive for everything to work (when I started with powerdot all my systems had tetex, which does not have recent enough versions of several LaTeX packages for powerdot). The only caveat with powerdot is you have to remember to generate the PDF output using ps2pdf, not pdflatex. -- Les ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Please avoid sending me Word or PowerPoint attachments.
