Not exactly. Some parts of LyX configuration is being build upon installation and initial configuration procedure. Then these informations are used on every LyX reconfiguration. There is no feature to automatically look for new version of MikTeX and that is good for couple of reasons. Mainly you can safely have two or more MikTeX versions installed and switch them to test how LyX plays with them. The only thing you need to remember is to put correct path to the MikTeX version you for in LyX preferences window when you want cooperate with new version. I am fine with that. -- Manveru jabber: manv...@manveru.pl gg: 1624001 http://www.manveru.pl
