[R-sig-Fedora] Installing texlive dependencies

[Petar Milin]

Dear Peter,
Thank you so much! The texlive-collections did the trick! :-)

So, I am making this digested how-to below, from your last message.

PS: I noticed you are using yum to install R-packages. Isn't it better
to use install.packages() and update.packages() from R?

Best,
Petar
