Jan, any particular reason you need to use TeTeX? It's way outdated and no longer maintained. You may want to switch to TexLive 2011 (which should be available from PCLinux repositories or can be obtained from Ctan.org). That aside, you ave two tasks in fron of you: 1. Install Oxford UP's class and related files and make sure they work from LaTeX 2. Create a layout for Lyx once the class works in LaTeX Only once the class works as expected in pure latex I would move on to creating a layout for the class in Lyx. So I would start with the following procedure: - Copy the files to relevant subdirectories of ~/texmf. As a quick hack, put everything ~/texmf/tex/latex (as I guess you did) - update tex's database with: sudo texhash - check that TeX can find the files with: kpsewhich rdp.cls - copy the sample document OUP included to a working directory and try compiling it with: pdflatex document.tex - check that the output replicates the document.pdf they included in the archive.
