Installing LyX/Cygwin
---------------------

1)  Install all the prerequisite packages (see README.txt)

2)  Download the cygwin setup program http://www.cygwin.com/setup.exe
    and launch it.

3)  Choose "Install from Local Directory", leave the "Root Directory"
    pointing to your cygwin installation, and then choose as
    "Local Package Directory" the one containing this file.

4)  In the "Select Packages" view, you should see a LyX category. Click
    on the + to expand the category. Now you should see four packages
    listed: LyXwin, aiksaurus, dvipost, and latex2rtf.

5)  Click on the S-shaped icon labeled "Skip" for the LyXwin package to
    install it. Now you should see that "Skip" has changed to the version
    number and that aiksaurus and latex2rtf are also marked for installation
    (unless you have already installed them).

6)  If you want to also install dvipost, click on its S-shaped icon.
    Dvipost is a latex post filter to support change bars in postscript output.

7)  Once you made your choices, click on next to complete the installation.
    Please, be patient while the post-installation scripts are running.

8)  When the setup program finishes, you should edit the file /etc/lyxprofile
    and change the LANG variable if you want menus translated in your language.
    Possibly, you will also have to adjust OUTPUT_CHARSET if it doesn't match
    your character set, but the default value should be fine.
    Your home directory should be guessed by /etc/lyxprofile, but if it fails
    to do so, simply set the HOME environment variable at system level.

9)  LyX/Cygwin should now be installed.
