Ingar: I think you might be thinking of the difference between the "standard"
installer and the "alternative" installer. But both the installers mentioned by
Rich Hoft are variants of the standard installer.
Rich: The difference between the two installers you mentioned is just that the
bundle includes an installation of LaTeX; this is why it's so much larger. They
are otherwise the same, so if you are planning on installing LaTeX yourself
(e.g. MiKTeX or TeX Live) then there is no need to use the bundle one.
As Ingar said, there are yet more installers, (with "AltInstaller" in their
name), which have the differences pointed out on that wiki page. The standard
vs. alt installers both have their own pros and cons, but if you're starting to
use LyX for the first time, I doubt you will notice either way.
(By the way the most recent stable version of LyX is 1.6.9 not 1.6.8. I'm
guessing this is just a typo but I thought I'd mention it to be safe.)
