 Just replace the LyX folder of the LyteX folder with the new one.
 
 Phil

 This is very easy and does its job fine. Why then this projekt ist
 abandoned? It should be easy to do and it ist very important for the . 


I use LyTeX for my LyX and it seems to be just fine, although it's version 
1.6.5 
and i haven't 

wanted to chance an upgrade to 2.0 for fear of compatibility problems..or 
completely knocking
out my LyX. 

So I might be willing to try this idea to make a new folder and renaming the 
old 
one.  That won't 

break anything and I could always go back if it doesn't work as I expect... or 
even .. I could just
copy and make two flash drives; one with 1.6.5 and one with 2.0.

Could you be specific on how you make a new lyx folder?.. I mean what do you 
download and install
to make just the folder and not install the full system with miktex, etc.  

Thanks,
Phil

There are more issues involved here than whether LyX can be made portable.
Some organisations have an clause in their employment contract that using
unapproved or unauthorised software is a dismissable offence with
instantenous dismissal. Just because one can (use LyX on someone else's
system) does not mean that one should.

Also the LyX user does not know what other software is running on the
machine they put their stick into. There may be botnets (4.5millions
machines supposedly running the TDL botnet for example), keyloggers, viruses
and such.

While I appreciate that a portable LyX would be useful (for example, as a
Mac user with LyX installed on all my own machines, I find it frustrating
that on customer/client machines I don't have LyX available to me) let's not
be naive about the implications of what we are doing when using portable
software.

Now maybe if someone developed a cloud version of LyX then these real
objections would be removed but until that happens let's not compromise
ourselves.

Portable version of LyX?

Hello and a nice day at all,

is there a easy way (or is it generally possible) to install LyX at a 
USB-Stick and use it at different computers? I have installed USBTeX 
1.5, which included MiKTeX 2.9, TeXMaker and Sumatra PDF (a PDF-viewer). 
Thank You.

This is no way for me. Nearly all computers where I work, have the

Hello Phil, hello Liviu,

thank you for your suggestions. Now I have downloaded LyTeX from the 
following Webpage:


http://code.google.com/p/lytex/downloads/list

and extract it in a directory on the USB-Stick. LyTeX included portable 
versions of MikTeX and LyX and works fine. No other LaTeX-Distribution 
is needed.

I'm using LyX together with TexLive, both "portable".

Sincerely,
