You have to install the rest of the TeX system from the CD by hand.
It's there but does not get installed automatically.

I'm using a fairly old Debian dist, & I have a number of problems with hyphens
too.
I'm of British descent, and while some of the hyphenations are not actually
incorrect they seem distinctly odd. The ones that I remember are where the
line has been split with only two letters of a syllable on one line and the
rest of the syllable and word on the next one. Sometimes putting \sloppy
and \fussy for the paragraph works as desired, but frequently it does not.
So I suppose the questions are: `Is British English a separate language as far
as TeX ( Babel ) is concerned?' If so, where do I look up how to install
it. I have a copy of the Gossens `LaTeX Companion', but could not find much in
that wonderful, but now, sadly out-dated book.
Also the word `e-mail' is being split at the hyphen. Is there some convenient
way to tell LyX and LaTeX to treat a hyphenated word such as e-mail as one
which should not split, other than resorting to the ERT \hbox{trick}?
