The main problem for versions newer than 1.1.0 is that you need a real
C++ compiler, meaning that the minimal version is g++ 2.8.1. If you
are stuck with gcc 2.7.x, you should get lyx 1.0.4. You should of
course have xforms (0.88 at least), tetex, ghostscript, perl5 (to
import latex) and some other things I forgot.

You can use the M option of tar to break files on several floppies
automatically.

The later version is not backward compatible, and I am not even sure
it is fully forward compatible with 0.12.0.
