In the texlive-2011 repo each texlive-package is packaged as its own
rpm-package. (Each default texlive-2007 packages which is distributed
with SL6 contains a set of various texlive packages.)
In order to install the full texlive distribution just use
yum install texlive-scheme-full
There are also other schemes defined, cf.
yum search texlive-scheme
I'm using this repository in my SL6.4 installation and it works pretty
well. It just needs a lot of time to install, because you have a lot of
rpm packages which need to be installed.
Best regards,
Horst
