There is already a bootable, self-sustained Linux DVD available with LyX
integrated:
http://www.knoppix.org/
The homepage starts in German, for English click on the British flag.
One can download either a cdrom iso image or a dvd iso image.
According to the file "packages-dvd.txt", the dvd image contains 
LyX 1.5.3-1 installed, but I haven't tested it yet.
