local.
any advice?
thany you very much.
Your CD does not include the non_free section. The libforms-0.88 package
is in non-free. If you have an internet connection, then you can get the
packages either automatically with apt (or dselect), or manually by ftp.
To use apt, you'll need to have an appropriate sources list
(/etc/apt/sources.list), e.g.
long:syrus$ cat /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian slink main contrib non-free
deb http://conan.eecg.toronto.edu/debian slink non-US
deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian dists/proposed-updates/
If you use apt, installing lyx will be as simple as editing your
sources.list file, and then using a command like this:
root$ apt-get update ; apt-get install lyx
apt should take care of all the dependencies.
Thanks. Syrus.
