I am installing Lyx 1.6.9 on a Macbook Air OSX 10.6 .
Quite interesting for me. I'm thinking over a change to Macbook Air for having a lightweight and smaller computing possibility when travelling.
The Wiki suggests BasicTex but this thread suggests that is a bad idea http://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-users@lists.lyx.org/msg78404.html
My article you pointed to was more meant to encourage the use of Lyx with BasicTeX, I wrote:
For not to praise the day before eve, I don't exclude other frustrating experiences with the method "BasicTeX and additional packages on demand", but in the moment I'm confident in having got with three days of work a very smaller TeXLive installation, usable also with LyX.
I'm using »LyX with BasicTeX and additionel (LaTeX) packages on demand« all the time since then (Dec 2009) with success, also with BasicTeX 2011 and LyX 2.0.
But every now and then it is still somewhat difficult to interprete the LaTeX error messages and to find out what's the correct name of the package I have to install with tlmgr.
Questions: 1. Has anyone had success installing and using Lyx with BasicTex (I am mainly interested in koma-script article document class)?
Me, as I write above. Joachim -- BacicTeX 2010 Mac - LyX 2.0.0 - TeXShop 2.36 MacBook Pro OSX 10.6.5 Snow Leopard intel
