Reboot, writing something that can not be viewed and printed under windows, no access to emails and other materials under windows, no way to save personal lyx perference (I may be wrong here)? No, I personally will not do this.
You can have Knoppix keep a home directory (with your personal preferences and settings, too) on a USB flash memory device; you just have to boot with an option to do that; there is a nice book called Knoppix Hacks, part of the O'Reilly hacks series, that explains how and all sorts of neat tricks, but you can also Google for how to do it.
There is, by the way, a Knoppix-based distro called Quantian, that already has LyX and all sorts of mathematical and statistical software loaded and ready to go on a Live CD. Check out the latest version of that, it may come in handy.
