    If you can't find it in the menus try with typing lyx in a konsole.

    That's strange. Are you sure it's installed:
    markus@mrk-fujibox:~$ dpkg -l|grep lyx
    ii lyx 1.3.4-1 High Level Word Processor
    ii lyx-common 1.3.4-1 High Level Word Processor - common files
    ii lyx-qt 1.3.4-1 High Level Word Processor - Qt frontend

    Try the command lyx-qt
    If it's not in the menus you could try updating them with update-menus as user.

    I've tried that and other combinations to fire it up - no joy

    I use Lyx on windoze so I thought it would be a good starting point on Knoppix - something i'm familiar with.

    Delved a little deeper:

    Any way - all appears loaded other than what you would call "lyx.exe" on windows.

    Plus there is no Latex support anyway

    So all in all it's space wasted on the CD IMHO

    Great pity because it's the latest version of Lyx - someone has obviously gone to some trouble with a compile - but sadly not far enough.

    Not sure where that leaves me - at the moment, back with Windoze I suppose

    Sorry, not a clue as to why the frontend is missing. Perhaps kghostview somehow uses it.

    As root,

    apt-get install lyx-qt
    apt-get install lyx

    then as yourself,

    lyx-qt

    This is the usual way to install software which you don't yet have

    E: Unable to write to /var/cache/apt/
    E: THe package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened


    and the same for
