Knoppix can read and write most of the Unix/Linux file systems. Sooo, if he has lyx installed on the SuSE partition, he should be able to run it from there.

If he wants to get rid of SuSE altogether. Have him save a FAT32 partition on which to store data (for Windows and Linux) and programs (for Windows and Linux). Then he can run the applications from Linux and save data to the hard drive from Knoppix if need be.
