Hello Renaud,
> So I am thinking of a CD or a USB mass storage medium which would
provide a ready-to-use Lyx (with the required third party software).
there is a portable lyx on portableapps: http://portableapps.com/node/9880
I tried it on usb-stick, but it worked only on my computer, where lyx is
installed on hard-disc. I didn't get it working on a computer without
installed lyx. there seems to be a problem. perhaps you are more lucky.
Matthias
