Since I'm running Debian Sid I do the following: mkdir /usr/localshare/texmf/tex/latex
Underneath that directory you can either make a separate directory/folder for each class style or leave them separate if it is just one file. For cleanliness I make sure each one has its own directory. Now if its a package from www.ctan.org it usually is tar'd up with its own directory in the first place. Underneath my directory tree I have the following so far: IEEEtran/ algorithms/ epigraph/ memoir/ paper/ pdfcolmk/ pdfdraftcopy/ pdftricks/ preprint/ prettyref/ resume/ runic/ .... move back up to the /usr/local/share/texmf directory. run texhash ls-R should be autogenerated. Then within LyX run Reconfigure followed by restarting LyX. Now LyX doesn't fully support memoir so when I need that class I use the latest version of Kile and code by hand, even though Kile does quite a bit of helping one out. -Marc On Monday 10 May 2004 08:05, Francisco Hidalgo Sola wrote: > El Lun 10 May 2004 09:49, Jim escribió: > > This is one of the most common questions I see asked.

Kind of a hack, but I don't update very often.
