Required packages

I recently needed to re-install MiKTeX. I chose the basic package to 
make the download manageable, but it installs nothing like all the 
packages that LyX uses. For additional packages I was guided by the 
packages listed under Help > LaTeX Configuration, and then by the 
packages listed in the yellow notes at the start of some of the LyX 
docs. However this is still inadequate for compiling the LyX docs.

dvips is required for the Introduction

There is no note indicating additional required packages at the start of 
the Additional LyX Features manual, but I found I needed to download

shapepar, lipsum, babel-latin

(The last is certainly "out of left field", presumably required to 
correctly hyphenate the lorem ipsum nonsense!)

For the Embedded Objects manual there is a yellow note with additional 
packages listed but I found I needed also

eso-pic, ms, pict2e

For at least one of the manuals (but I didn't note which) I needed 
zhmetrics (presumably for a font used in one of the manuals), and also 
graphics-cfg.
