A lot of those entries have gotten a bit long in the tooth (though I think everything is still applicable, one of the really nice thing about TeX and LyX, it never feels like there is a system of planned obsolescence). Regarding how to upgrade TeX Live, I did write a post describing how to do it: http://blog.oak-tree.us/index.php/2010/07/15/latex-custom Though it talks about LaTeX 2010, the instructions can be adapted to nearly any LaTeX distribution, as far as I know. I used the same procedure recently to install TeXLive 2012. (Speaking of which, if you use TeXLive 2012 and luaTeX, be very careful. They've made some big changes, and it's caused a bunch of things to break. Or, at least none of my luaTeX documents will compile anymore; both from LyX and pure TeX. I haven't yet had time to sort out where the problem is.) I'd love to link to a more updated set of instructions. When you finish your post, let me know, I'll to post a link. Cheers, Rob
