It works fine (woody), no need to compile yourself.

Set up the parameters from the menu or in the resp. LaTeX preamble,
and save your document in ~/.lyx/templates/, from where it will be
sourced as template from then on.

Choose from the menu; setup is to be found in ~/.lyx/lyrc, which
overrides /etc/lyxrc (debian)

Do apt-cache searches for tetex, ps, and dvi; install at least
everything with tetex in its name. Set up a custom tree in
/usr/local/share/, and install eventually missing LaTeX stuff there.

You're welcome! I can send you my setup files if you want. You
wouldn't only get ps and pdf (and maybe rtf) with 1.1.5fix2
automagically, but could also (e)fax from within LyX.
