Yes. I also do full installation of miktex and it *is* slow. I think
this is acceptable since lyx is a wrapper of latex. What I am trying
to achieve is packing *everything else* together by removing perl and
mingw, including a minimal python interpreter and convert.exe, even
those latex<->word/html converters if feasible, to a single
installation file.
Maybe we can contact miktek developers and let them pack all packages
in *one* zip file? Currently, they manage latex packages on a one by
one basis and this is what takes most of the times.
I see. Yes, that would be a nice addition to miktex's downloading options.
