Thanks Bennett!

I will try to make the final part of the guide this weekend (plenty  
to do both at work and at home right now). What I feel is currently  
missing is info on how to add templates (which is covered in the  
wiki, but should be in the same place w. pictures) and adding  
spellchecking support. After that I think any Mac user should be  
fairly ready to start using LyX by all the good (cross-platform)  
Tutorials that are available. If you think there is anything else Mac- 
specific (and basic) I have missed, please let me know.

You're more than welcome to place the guide on the wiki - it should

well. Actually, as a relaxation exercise I took ten minutes and  
used your

webpage as original and put a wikified copy of it here:

http://wiki.lyx.org/Playground/LyXOnMacInstallGuide

This is just to show you how the markup would be in case you'd like to
keep it on the wiki. If so, we should move it out of the playground  
area

:-)

Right now the images are all links to your site - the images can of  
course

also be stored on the wiki, they can simply be uploaded using the file
manager.
http://wiki.lyx.org/ipfm/index.php/
where user=lyx, password=LyXers.

If you'd like to split the information over several pages, there's
something called 'wiki trail' [1] that's an easy way to help the
reader go betweeen the pages (prev/next/up).

LyX on Mac --Very first draft of a visual installation guide

[Anders Ekberg]

I had an idea to create a visual installation guide for absolute  
beginners. The background is that TeX actually is very scary (300 MB  
in thousands of files...). If I shall ever persuade my parents,  
friends, etc to install LyX, I think they need a very concrete guide  
so that they can compare their screens with screen dumps.


So I created a very first attempt to such a guide, which you can find  
here:

http://www.am.chalmers.se/~anek/temp/LyX_www/LyXonMac.html

The focus is on Mac-users. I plan on continue with how to use/install  
templates, some troubleshooting and then just leave links to where  
platform independent use is described, e.g. http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/ 
NewInLyX14

Hopefully it can be ready for the 1.4 release.
