How to install texlive (full) on Fedora 17 - and why
Fedora provides a texlive package (http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/TeXLive), however it is incomplete, usually out of date and I haven’t been able to easily install new latex packages through it. In theory new packages can be installed by issuing the command:
yum install 'tex(epsfig.sty)'
However this never worked for me, and despite some searching I couldn’t work out what was going wrong.
