how to instal the Texlive Manager from 'texlive2016-20160523.iso'
Dear experts, I am a heavy user of LyX under Mageia5 which has all the normal TexLive stuff but does not provide tlmgr, TeX Live's package and configuration manager. What I am facing now is this 2.9 GiB 'texlive2016-20160523.iso - Ark' monster in /Home/Downloads. After reading all the documentation that came along plus some info from the internet I am more confused than ever and just do not know how to install tlmgr on my system. Who would be so kind as to advise me (a person of blessed ignorance in this field) how to do that!? I prepared a fresh install of Mageia5 on a separate HD that could be used without damaging my system and data. Thanks and cheers, Michael
Re: Wiki page regarding the transition to LyX 2.2.0 (from a user point of view)
Hi Uwe, to tell the true the problem I encountered is not a bug in LyX 2.2 but a mistake (I made) now displayed while before ignored (even if present), hence it is an improvement, now LyX is more picky! I've just another similar question to ask, so I'll try bug tracker soon. Don't worry, I'm not offended hahaha! If you like, remove my page without problems. Ciao!

There is an enhancement request for this sort of thing: a combo box, like for layouts, that could be put on the toolbars. In theory, you can add menu entries for custom insets wherever you wish, by editing the menu definition files. Richard

To sort the different issues I would be happy if you could - open a bug report in LyX's bug tracker: http://www.lyx.org/trac/wiki/BugTrackerHome for every issue you think it is a bug in LyX 2.2. - write a mail for every issue that is related to the lyx-devel mailing list. This way we can have a look if we add info to the announcement and/or the news section of lyx.org (referring to your Wiki page) I have seen that you modified http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/NewInLyX22 I reverted your change and protected the page that it cannot be modified by everyone. Please don't see this as offense, it is only that this page describe the new features and is our advertisement for the world. We of course don't want to present bugs as new features ;-) but to fix them as soon as possible for LyX 2.2.1. best regards Uwe

Re: LyX questions on LaTeX-community.org
Thanks for the response Steve. I'm a junior member of a team developing documentation for a Linux OS. We are authoring in lyx then using other systems to handle translations into several, in fact many, languages. I prefer the forum for keeping track of discussions and will admit to not using something like Fetchmail to make a mail list easier. Perhaps I should look again. Cheers, Gordon.

I work in both mail lists and forums and I definitely prefer working in a forum. Although, a big problem here could be how best use the existing mail-list archive. As soon as Fetchmail and a mail client and filters are set up, every message of every mailing list to which one subscribes is presented, in its proper folder, without human intervention. With forums, one needs to remember to browse each forum, usually requiring a login with a password. Often, much more often than mailing lists, you're required to agree to pretty iffy legal terms, often including your indemnifying (acting as an unpaid insurance company for) the forum owners, and perhaps binding arbitration. There's a reason mailing lists have gotten the Free Software movement from 1992-present: It's easy, it's automatic, and the information comes to you instead of having to go out and get it. I can understand adding a Forum, but can't fathom the logic behind in any way demoting an existing and well used mailing list. I'm copying the Devuan mailing list because some of these same issues have come up there.
