You need to check how in your Linux distribution LyX is coupled in terms of its requirements for TeX packages. For Debian users, LyX does not "require" any TeX packages. If your distro does, obviously, leave thoses packages which are necessary for LyX installed. Using the TexLive 2008 Package Manager is very easy and should be considered a serious advantage in terms of convince, updating and recovery of a complex production system that should be independent from the distribution's package manager that controls your operating system.

RE: texlive2008 debian
No; Texlive doesn't include Lyx. You must download it via lyx.org. Yes; your packages of Texlive 2007 will update when you install Texlive 2008 from DVD. But in synaptic you still texlive2007 debs. Its not important. -Original Message- From: Wolfgang Engelmann [mailto:engelm...@uni-tuebingen.de] Sent: Saturday, January 17, 2009 2:48 PM To: LyX List Subject: Re: texlive2008 debian Am Samstag, 17.
