Paul,
Thanks, but I have a a question below.
Don't know about 8.04, but I installed LyX 1.6.0-1 on Ubuntu 8.10
(Intrepid), and so far so good (in limited use). Rather than building
it myself, I installed a couple of .deb archives. The steps are:
1. Go to http://www.debian.org/mirror/list and pick a secondary mirror
"near" you.
2. In Ubuntu, go to System -> Administration -> Software Sources ->
Third-Party Software, click Add, and add the mirror you chose. The
entry line will look like 'deb http://ftp.someserver.somedomain sid main'.
Will this result in all packages being updated through the deb
repository rather than the Ubuntu repository?
Or does the "sid" bit restrict it to the Lyx files.
You also talk about adding a "couple" of repositories. but only list
one. Or, by a couple do you mean lyx and lyx-common ?
Sorry for basic questions :-(
