Hello,
I want to use lyx to write some slides with the beamer package. Is it 
possible to do this? I use miketex 2.5, installed the beamer package, 
did a reconfigure of lyx but can not find beamer as document type. How 
to do this?

thanx, nice day - Tino


LyX is a great way to write beamer slides.  Assuming that you are using 
LyX 1.4.x, do the following.  Locate <miktex root 
directory>\tex\latex\beamer\lyx\layouts\beamer.layout, copy it, and put 
the copy in C:\Documents and Settings\<your login id>\Application 
Data\LyX1.4.x\layouts\.  Then start LyX, run Tools->Reconfigure, exit 
and restart LyX.  Beamer should show up in the list of document types.
