Since we are doing changes in the installation workflow on Windows we should consider to advocate TeX Live instead of MiKTeX on official LyX web page and I have in mind two reasons: 1. increased document interoperability between architectures because both Linux and Mac use preferably TeX Live (MacTeX is redistribution of TeX Live if I read their pages right, CMIIW). 2. the instalation time of first install of MiKTeX (including triggered online updates via configure) is *horrific*. As I wrote in some earlier email, it took >1 hour to get LyX+MiKTeX working on clean Win machine mainly because of MiKTeX package handling (and our reconfigure:). Net TeXLive installer might be better in this regard. (?) Before I will do my own experiments with Win TL 18, any windows users around to comment on TeX Live advantages/drawbacks on windows, esp. to points 1./2. Thanks, Pavel (CC-ing users list.)
