Re: problem with some document classes

[Jim]

This is one of the most common questions I see asked. You need to either 
copy the appropriate files (i.e; hollywood.cls) from 
/usr/share/lyx/examples (on my gentoo system) to somewhere in your tetex 
path, and of course run texhash, then reconfigure in lyx.
I put a separate folder in /etc/texmf , called lyx and stuck the files 
there.  Kind of a hack, but I don't update very often. Good luck.
