This would probably make it easier for first-timers. But the download would be massive, which persons who just update LyX probably would not like. Downloading "if needed" would require a script that someone would need to create and (not the least) maintain. As for documentation I personally think the wiki, Tutorial and User's guide are excellent. But I am probably blind for difficulties a beginner faces. Unfortunately I think those that have the difficulties fresh in mind, and are the ones that I think should update http://wiki.lyx.org/Mac/Mac (or create a "Beginner's video guide" or whatever they find would be helpful and is currently missing for a beginner) are often hesitant to do this since they think they are not experienced enough. So we have a bit of a catch 22 All the best! Anders
