What a great idea! The file development/Win32/packaging/installer/Packages.txt is what Uwe used to tell MiKTeX what to install (and which I'll use to build the batch files). I believe it is meant to include everything that LyX could ever possibly want. That would do, I suppose. It's 319 packages, or so says 'wc -l', but it probably doesn't end up being a whole ton of space, and some of them may already be installed. Alternatively, we could try to pare the list down a bit to packages people are more likely to need. Riki
