Lyx 1.6 on ubuntu 8.04

[Graham Smith]

Has anyone installed 1.6 on Ubuntu 8.04?  Its available for Jaunty (as 
pointed out elsewhere on this forum), but not sure of the risks that may 
be involved.

I currently have 1.5.5 installed via the Ubuntu repository, should I 
uninstall this before installing 1.6, or is it a bad idea to install 1.6 
before its officially available for 8.04.

I am new to Linux, and still finding my feet with it.

Thanks for any advice.

Graham
