Thanks for this. I re-downloaded the file, but it still does not work on my machine. tar -xvzf now yields: gzip: invalid compressed data—crc error gzip: invalid compressed data—length error tar etc. as above. > otherwise let me know, than I'll send it by mail, if you > are able to get such large attachements. Thanks, again, this is very kind of you, but there is not enough saving capacity available on my mail server. Apart from WWW download taking about 20 minutes by modem. So I would prefer you make the file available in tar.gz or zip format simply. In fact this is the first time I have come across a .tgz file at all. For the sake of cross-platform availability zip files should be used generally. I think this is important first of all to Windows users changing to Linux seeking help to work with LyX. tgz being a unix-linux format in the first place it is second-best choice for providing a Help file anyway.
