Eric, on Mac OS X LyX 1.6.x uses ~/Library/Application Support/LyX-1.6 and LyX 2.0.x uses ~/Library/Application Support/LyX-2.0 If you want to continue your work using (and let LyX 2.0 automatically converting) the 1.6 preferences you should copy the directory LyX-1.6 to LyX-2.0 - there is no need to remove the old preferences. If you want to start from scratch LyX 2.0 will create a new preferences directory and use default settings. If you want to use LyX 1.6 in parallel you should rename /Applications/LyX.app before moving the new LyX.app to the /Applications folder. AFAIK, there is no need for a cleaner to deinstall LyX 1.6 - you can use them alternatively. Anyway, LyX 2.0 will convert your documents to the current stable file format if it is needed. On the other hand the latest 1.6 version should be able to open these documents. But you should make a backup resp. a copy of all documents you plan to process with 1.6 later. But you have a Time Machine backup anyway, don't you? All these steps are LyX related. The update/upgrade of your TeXLive installation is another story you should read at their home page. Stephan
