I just need "hyperref," right? What is the easiest way to install
it in a near-stock RedHat 7.1 full install (just added LyX,
TeTeX-LyX and XForms)?

The problem with "ps2pdf" is that it seems to not "preserve" the
orientation of my paper. E.g., if I use FoilTeX and landscape for
slides, the PDF will have the paper "portrait" with the output
"sideways." It's fine for printing, but not for presentations.
So I previously used "pdftex" but it didn't convert the EPS graphics
before output (and lost them in the end result). Hence why the
"tex2pdf" script was exactly what I needed -- and gives me both
thumbnails and hyperlinks in the PDF. I get everything but the PDF
bookmarks.
So that's all that's left.

Again, the hyperlinks come out great with "tex2pdf."

That's what I thought. It's like being able to in-line assembler in
a C/C++ IDE.

Which I do for "\appendix". I'm _far_ from a LyX expert (although
everyone here in the local central/north Florida LUGs think I am --
GASP! -- anyone here in central/north Florida?), and I know even
less of [La]TeX. But I refuse to write anything that doesn't use a
standard, well-documented publication back-end ever again after my
Word 95 to 97 "snafus". **

it humorous that MacMillian made me write in MS Word, but I had to
use a single monospace font and put "tags" before all my
paragraphs/lines. They were probably saving it out as ASCII and
processing it with TeX or SGML anyway. Imagine all the increase in
productivity they could have had by simply creating a LyX template!
With Cygwin now sporting a full X-Server, LyX runs quite well on
Windows too.
