I am installing Lyx 1.6.9 on a Macbook Air OSX 10.6 . Looking through
the instructions I was dismayed to see that I may have to install the
1.6 GB MacTex package. This machine only has a 64 GB drive so this is
quite a lot of overhead not to mention that the download will take many
hours on my basic DSL connection.
The Wiki suggests BasicTex but this thread suggests that is a bad idea

Questions:
1. Has anyone had success installing and using Lyx with BasicTex (I am
mainly interested in koma-script article document class)?
2. Any ideas on using an external USB drive to hold the installation
package and then selecting the components I need for Lyx?
3. Any other ideas on how to reduce the drive space requirement?
TIA
Bob
