Installation on M$ Windoze
Greetings LyX World. I have spent quite a long time producing a series of relatively simple docs in the wonderful LyX, but it is now time for somebody else to take over the project. The problem is the export of my work to the Windoze, or Mac, World. Is there a set of LyX LaTeX binaries and all the supportiing stuff which will work on Windoze 9x? Alternatively, is anybody running LyX under one of the `Sit on Windoze' distributions, such as `Drop-in-Debian'? I'd be interested to hear about experiences.
