There happen to be backports for LyX at getdeb: http://www.getdeb.net/app/LyX However, it's still rc3 for hardy there. Well, if you like them you could also use the packages I have been building and linking in the LyX Wiki for some time now. They are not checkinstall packages but packaged "by hand" and they also pull in a reasonable set of dependencies: http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/Download (feel free to comment on those here anyway) Phil
