I still don't understand why we can't have Miktex to ask to install a
package when needed ? At least we can ask the user if he wants to install
all possible packages and wait half an hour. So many people are put off by
having to wait sooooo long the first time they try LyX.
Dear Vincent:
I think you are missing the point that in MikTeX it is a KNOWN bug
that the ASK option is broken and it fails to make the menu pop up and
ask the user about the packages.
I didn't know that. It works perfectly for me.
But what I basically meant is that we, the LyX installer, could ask the user
whether we check for all packages being installed and install them if needed.
