For me it's useful when I'm late for a deadline and discover that the combo lyx-130, ghostscript/8.00 and xdvi 22.05 doesn't really work. Then it's nice to _easily_ be able to try ghostscript/6.52 etc.
So I guess it would be more useful if you were using some other problem that called "lyx", and you'd like it to use a different version of lyx. /Christian -- Christian Ridderström, +46-8-790 91 37 http://www.md.kth.se/~chr Mechatronics lab, Dept. of Machine Design http://www.md.kth.se
