Hi all,
This is my traditional followup to new LyX pre-releases or releases.
The RPMS for Redhat 6.X are on ftp.sylvan.com. The full paths:
ftp://ftp.sylvan.com/pub/lyx/lyx-1.1.4pre2-1.i386.rpm
ftp://ftp.sylvan.com/pub/lyx/tetex-lyx-1.1.4pre2-1.i386.rpm
The source RPM is at:
ftp://ftp.sylvan.com/pub/lyx/lyx-1.1.4pre2-1.src.rpm
These were built on my stock Redhat 6.1 Pentium III Dell Inspiron 7500 Laptop.
It's very very fast! Compiles LyX in about 5 minutes!!!
I am running these RPMs on my Redhat 6.0 Pentium without any problems. Email
me if you have any problems and I can regenerate the RPMs the old-fashioned
(slow) way.
