I have spent some time to write a new section about an easy (hopefully 8))
installation of LyX on Win32. BTW there is a distribution file available (13
MB) which includes LyX as well as all Cygwin files as well as Perl 5.6 (w/o
documentation), ispell 3.2 (german and english hash files) and Ghostscript
4.03 (cygwin version only for inline viewing of images).
The description will show a potential user step by step what (and how) to
install to let LyX splash up on Win32. The description takes into account
all necessary steps including installation of an X-server, MikTeX etc.!
If interested have a look at
http://www.fh-hannover.de/mbau/tim/hentschel/lyx/index.htm
I hope this will help many interested users in installing LyX on Win32 and
maybe switch from M$-Word to this outstanding typesetting system!
