By the way-- if I chose to install texlive from the ISO image, do I need
to uninstall the previous version?

I realize that this is not a specific Lyx question, but someone here
might know the answer.
My main problem in running Lyx (or Latex) on Linux is the lack of a nice
package manager like Miktex is on Windows.
I heard that TexLive has a package manager, but I have not been able to
find it.
Can anyone help?
Thanks,
I believe the latest TexLive (2008) has a package manager. However, many Linux
distribution (like (K)Ubuntu) are still stuck withTexLive 2007---hence no
package manager. One option is to download the TexLive 2008 DVD and install
it manually. Another option is to wait for the next version of (K)Ubuntu which
should have TeXLive 2008.
See here for TeXlive package manager and various caveats:
