sty and cls files need to go in the latex subdirectory of your TeX installation. As root, cd to wherever it is (e.g. /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex) then copy the files (you probably want to makea new subdirectory for them first, though putting them in ./base should also work). Then run texhash to update your TeX installation. Only then run reconfigure from LyX.Well, I'm still very new to lyx (second day I'm trying it),on this list it was suggested to use new layout files from ctan, so I tried. I downloaded: script10.sty script12.sty script.cls script_l.cls script11.sty script18.sty script_s.cls Some kind of mix of cls and sty files (do they need each other or are they the same stuff in another format?) I've put them all under ~/.lyx/layouts, or should the sty files or cls files go somewhere else?
IIRC Help->Customisation has the details.

Some kind of "Add style wizard" might be an idea for future releases. It's not something that warrants high priority, since at the moment most LyX users either come in with at least a litlle LaTeX knowledge, or acquire it prtty damn' quick, but as the user base grows, we could think about making the TeX engine as invisible as possible.\end{idlethought}
It's a matter of taste. AMS unnumbered might give you a nice overall layout. I actually use AMS quite often, despite having no use for the One thing which will definitely pretty it up is to put \usepackage{pandora} in your preamble.And something else, I'm trying to work with a pretty plain dutch story book, with some pictures, which one of the styles (there are so many...) would be best to use, most of them seem to be for scientifical stuff.
