Yes, I have a separate admin account and set "Ask me" in the *user* preferences on that account. Then, I always use an account (different from the previous one) with no admin privileges and set it to "Never install missing packages on-the-fly". When a package is required by a document (and I am willing to install it), I simply run lyx as administrator and answer yes when I am asked to install the missing package. -- Enrico -- lyx-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lyx.org/mailman/listinfo/lyx-devel
