No, that's it. I didn't find it in the LyX folder in my user directory. I see there are layouts for all the KOMA classes in the layouts folder in the LyX package. Should I copy them into the layouts folder in my user directory? It's currently empty.
Eric, As long as LyX knows where to look you'll be OK. I don't keep a separate layout subdirectory; it's just more to maintain.
While I'm at it. Is there any reason I should keep my LyX 1.6 installation? [I just updated recently.] Likewise--at the risk of being scolded by Liviu again -;)--in hanging onto my TeX Live 2010 distribution?
No. No. If you have a current LyX release it will automagically convert earlier version documents when you open them. Can't go backwards, but there's no reason to do so. There are apparently version incompatibilities from one TeXLive release to the next. The Slackware protocol is to build the latest, then uninstall the earlier version before installing the current version. That avoids an potential problems. Also, if you have more than a single version of any application the system might not know which one to use, or might use parts of both. Not good. Rich
