These are warnings that LaTeX had to stretch the inter-word spacing
more than it would like to do in order to fill the line. The first is
the first paragraph of the Introduction and is probably caused by the
newline, so you can ignore it. The second is the first line of the
next paragraph, and if you look at it you can see how it is kind of
stretched out. The way to fix it is to re-write the line a bit, or
just not to bother.
One man's opinion: If you ever start tweaking content to satisfy
format, you'd might as well switch from LyX to Scribus or some other
coffee-table-book-authoring-tool.
This is a pure typesetting issue. I'm perfectly happy to re-write a line
a teeny bit to get a better break, so it will look right.
I've often been able to use \begin{sloppy} and \end{sloppy} to make
LaTeX less pedantic about where to break a line, and thereby cure both
these warnings and the extra space. I've found this necessary when a
paragraph contains either a URL or a piece of monospaced type.. I
consider that acceptable if done in only a few instances.
If you're going to do this, then you can just ignore the warnings.
