No it doesn't... here is the relevant part (which you didn't quote):

        Uwe has made an improved version of the LyX User's guide, but IMO
        we should avoid ERT in the beginning of it (so we don't scare off
        novices). I would therefore like to ask for help in how to move
        the ERT insets in the beginning of the attached example into the
        preamble.
 
        The issues involve:
        * How to get roman pagenumbering of the first pages, and arabic
          starting with the first section.
        * How to add a 'hypertarget' and 'pdfbookmark' to the TOC

I'm still hoping for answers on how to do this btw...

What are you talking about???

So? I only want the beginning of the document to look easy for a novice
who reads it using LyX?

/Christian

PS. For better/other motivations on why it's good to avoid ERT in the 
beginning of the document, read the other recent posts in the lyx-docs 
list.
