Thanks for all.. I guess I'll stick to the cygwin,
lyx. I have still dont get a very nice graphical
output (like lyx claims to produce) on the screen (the
printed output is pretty much like LaTeX) but its fine
anyway.. I really dont care anymore if its WYSWYM or
whatever (LaTeX philosophy...) as long as the output
will satisfy me.
Yeah I gave the Live-cd a thought.. (and btw I didnt
realized they dont work with non FAT systems), but I
mean that will be my last resort. I really dont want
to install a new OS in the office now, call it
laziness.
Oh by the by.. not related to the topic here. Is there
a way to view the (most recent!) mailing list posts
without checking it up in the email (like in a
newsgroup or a http site.. someone has to put up a lyx
newsgroup , that way I think its more practical)
Sincerely,
Jose Capco
