I guess they want to keep it installable from CD, like in 2004. (i.e. not compressed, as protext-1.3). I think the discussion will be more thorough when the dvd/cd collection will be out. The TeXLive images are currently test images, and the official TeXLive is still 2004. >> The Protext instruction manual, I worry, may be daunting for newcomers. I never read it, just done this (from the local LyX install instructions): 6. Install MikTeX * Decompress the archive in (e.g.) C:\ProTeXt-1.2. Be patient... * Go to C:\ProTeXt-1.2\SETUP and install -- Jean-Pierre
