* Put the attached module in the layouts folder of your user directory
(About>LyX tells you where the user directory is, if there is no layouts
folder yet, create it)
* Restart LyX
* Go to Documents>Settings...>Modules, select the module "Boxed Float" and hit
"Add"
You should not be able to select a framed float from Insert>Floats. The float
does not exactly look like you want (the caption is outside the box). If you
want to have the caption inside the box, the following definition in your
document preamble (while using the Boxed Float module) should help:
\usepackage{framed}
\newcommand\flo...@simplerule[2]{{\@f...@cfont #1 #2}\par}
\renewcommand...@boxed{%
\d...@fs@cfont{\bfseries}\l...@fs@capt\flo...@simplerule
\d...@fs@pre{\begin{framed}}%
\d...@fs@post{\end{framed}}%
\d...@fs@mid{\kern8pt}%
\l...@fs@iftopcapt\iftrue}
