Installing lyceum in the root directory of a site is the preferred way 
to go, as outlined in the installation guide: 
http://wiki.lyceum.ibiblio.org/index.php/Installation_Guide

The recommended configuration is to leave the directory structure as it 
is and set the document root of your webserver or virtual host to 
src/lyceum. If your web host does not allow you to customize the 
document root, or for some other reason you want all the files to live 
in the same level, you may move /src/lib, /src/config, and 
/src/installation to within src/lyceum, and then change PRIVATE_REL_PATH 
in src/lyceum/private.php accordingly (for more information, see the 
comments in private.php).

The only thing to note with subdomains is that you will need to 
specifically create a new dns entry for the www subdomain and point it 
at your main domain, otherwise lyceum will try to find a blog with the 
name 'www'.
