Fair enough. Although, I never said you were BAD, nor bad ...

Sorry, you are wrong. There is neither ksendfax nor xsendfax in SuSE
7.2 and you can not install packages from 7.1. Check it out. I have
all 7 CD's here with me.

The issue is that it is not 10 secs. I have told you about SuSE and I
phoned my friend who has RH 7.1 and he told me the same thing. 

There are ksendfax RPM's on ksendfax SourceForge page, but none will
install.

No , I did not give the answer. My wife refuses to install from
source. She wants, just as most other users to have controlled RPM
installation of what she needs.

Why are you changing the issue ?? I was speaking about removing
features , not about speed. I did not say LyX is slower or faster. 

I said that what you did 5 years ago with MySQL, you can do today. Are
there better ways to do same thing today. Yes, many, but none of them
killed the old feature. 

Regarding speed, 4.0 will be soon out and you will definitely see
speed improvements. If you have any questions on improving join
speeds, please feel free to write to me directly. I use LyX for all
documentation and it is fair to give back something in return
... Anyway, it is possible your join speeds deteriorated due to larger
tables, not because of MySQL. And you probably did not run ANALYZE
TABLE periodically to help MySQL optimizer do a better job.

No, I did not. My wife installed LyX from SuSE 7.0 and it sent
faxes. How can  LyX be installed from SuSE 7.2 or RH 7.1, through a
normal RPM installation.

No, I am not a 'Lamer'. I just ask: Why kill something that works fine
????

And fax sending from previous LyX worked perfectly. 

We should learn from competition if we are not sure. 

Even that rubbish of MS Word has fax sending in the same place it was
5 years ago ....
