Did you turn off the option on the Linux side to install automatically missing modules (assuming that such an option exists there, too)? One of the nice things about MikTeX in Windows is that the modules are loaded dynamically inside of LaTeX (or even LyX). TeXLive has huge "chunks" for modules (via apt-get), at least as far as I can tell. > It should also be possible to share between TeXLive and MikTeX in a > similar way. > > I don’t do this anymore, since HD are cheap nowadays. > True, but the same is not true about SSDs. My main machine is a Surface Pro and it's very snappy, but the SSD has ~250Gb - I'm not hurting for space yet, which is why I asked the question. My home desktop has a 2TB HD that is a performance bottleneck when I run LyX. I will give it a try and report back. Cheers!
