I found that the Lyx "User Guide" is quite close to what I would like
to do. But I didn't find a template matching its document class "book
(Koma script)".
What is your LyX version, and what is your OS?
If you are on Windows, just open an Internet connection and use the menu Tools->reconfigure. This
will automatically install all LaTeX packages and document classes you need.

A good idea, I would say because I also write technical documentations using this as template (OK, I
set up the UserGuide as it currently is ;-) )
But for larger things I recommend to start with the thesis template that you find in LyX's template
folder in the subfolder thesis.
