OK it looks like what we need is Desktop Publishing and Typesetting software.

As for Typesetting, I see that KNOPPIX has LyX and teTeX on the CD. I thought that LyX and KLyX work with LaTeX, but LaTeX is not on the CD (neither is KLyX, BTW).

I'm wondering if anyone out there has had any experience using LyX with teTeX and what success you have had (with and without KNOPPIX)?

TIA,
