a) not that I'm aware of! I think this is what I really need some guidance on.
Do I need to install it on the system, as part of Tex/LaTex/Lyx?
Yes, as part of your LaTeX distribution.
Is there a
'howto' out there I should look at?
Have a gander at

b) again, a newbie Tex breakdown....?
# kpsewhich ifsym.sty
gives no output :-|
That's consistent with the package not being properly installed.
The ifsym package should include a Postscript file named ifsym.ps, which
is the manual (in German). Section 2 explains where to store the
pieces, after which you have to rebuild the TeX file database (see the
URL above).
