Aaaarrrrggghhh! *Never*, never, never do this if you already have TeX.
Especially not if you have already carefully removed the outdated mess
that is the RH kludge of tetex, and replaced it with the real tetex from
the TeX Collection DVD.

 If you do that you are on your own. One other possibility is to redo the
tetex rpm and then yum will work.

 What are the problems you have with FC tetex package? Have you reported it
to bugzilla.redhat.com?

 One other possibility would be to package that version and replace the
require in lyx rpm from tetex to tex...

This solution is for another frontend, TeXnic; shouldn't it work for LyX as well?

Installing TeXLive [TL]
"If you have enough space on your harddisk, then goto TUG's website
or a mirror and look for the newest TeXLive image and then

wget http://www.tug.org/ftp/texlive/Images/< Image Name >.iso
mount < Image Name >.iso -r -t iso9660 -o loop /mnt
cd /mnt
/install-tl.sh

Choose TL complete and as path for example /opt/texlive.
Into /etc/profile.local (SuSE, maybe different for other systems)
or ~/.bashrc insert

export PATH=/opt/texlive/bin/i386-linux:$PATH

Now all should work well ..."
