being able to run lyx without latex is IMHO a good and useful thing! i almost decided to go with that solution on my laptop from work because latex was so heavy and i wasn't sure it would install without admin privileges. running lyx without latex would have allowed me to write my thesis anywhere using the laptop. i'm in no hurry to print it and when i do need to print it i can always latex it from my home computer or remotely over the net... mamato
