I recently needed to re-install MiKTeX. I chose the basic package to
make the download manageable, but it installs nothing like all the
packages that LyX uses. For additional packages I was guided by the
packages listed under Help > LaTeX Configuration, and then by the
packages listed in the yellow notes at the start of some of the LyX
docs. However this is still inadequate for compiling the LyX docs.
dvips is required for the Introduction
There is no note indicating additional required packages at the start
of the Additional LyX Features manual, but I found I needed to download
shapepar, lipsum, babel-latin
(The last is certainly "out of left field", presumably required to
correctly hyphenate the lorem ipsum nonsense!)
For the Embedded Objects manual there is a yellow note with additional
packages listed but I found I needed also
eso-pic, ms, pict2e
For at least one of the manuals (but I didn't note which) I needed
zhmetrics (presumably for a font used in one of the manuals), and also
graphics-cfg.

Thanks for that. I am sorry to say that the Additional features manual
has not been updated for some time. I had hoped to be able to d that
last year but pressure of work got in the wau. I will take account of
your feedback when I update it.
