If updating fails (cannot help here), you can still: a) export your file from LyX 1.5.5 as LyX 1.4 (File>Export>LyX14) and use this on the eee. (You will have to do this with every PC -> eee transfer, as 1.5.5 will automatically convert any earlier format to its own. b) just update the LyX2LyX converter: Copy the files under LYXDIR/lyx2lyx/ from the 1.5.5 installation to LYXDIR/lyx2lyx on the eee. (Make a backup copy of the original content of the target directory first!) (LYXDIR is, where LyX stores its files, here on Debian it's /usr/share/lyx.) Now the "old" lyx will know about newer file versions. Hope this helps Günter
