Hello,
I'm having problem in LyX 2.0.0rc3 (ubuntu has some lag) with a very simple
test document.
I insert an eps file with Insert -> Graphics and I can display the document as
a pdf file (pdflatex) and as a ps file.
That works fine,
Then I add an ERT
{\includegraphics{venn5.eps}
and it works
Have I gotten some of my environments wrong or is LyX doing something wrong?
Any help on this matter is very much appreciated.

Write it as standard text, select textstyle "type writer" in the menu.
That will do the trick.

The remaining problems are pure LaTeX problems and that pdflatex is beeing a
little slow on generating postscript for preview when you have 500 pages.
Then 2-3 seconds feels like an eternity ;-)

What is the bare minimum for a LyX installation if the only thing that should

LyX, LaTeX, ghostscript, what else? As I remember, the LyX installer installed
both Perl and Python. Will LyX work without them?

This is a more general kind of problem, how do you update a postscript file?

after editing one of the included c++ files. The postscript file doesn't.

Restarting LyX works
