Thanks Jeff. It seems that the link you provided contains the whole distribution of texlive (over hundred texlive*). My system only has 19 texlive* as below.
# rpm -aq | grep --colour=always texlive* texlive-2007-57.el6_2.x86_64 texlive-context-2007-57.el6_2.x86_64 texlive-texmf-xetex-2007-38.el6.noarch texlive-texmf-latex-2007-38.el6.noarch texlive-texmf-errata-2007-7.1.el6.noarch texlive-texmf-errata-dvips-2007-7.1.el6.noarch texlive-texmf-errata-latex-2007-7.1.el6.noarch texlive-texmf-errata-context-2007-7.1.el6.noarch texlive-dvips-2007-57.el6_2.x86_64 texlive-texmf-dvips-2007-38.el6.noarch texlive-utils-2007-57.el6_2.x86_64 texlive-texmf-fonts-2007-38.el6.noarch texlive-texmf-2007-38.el6.noarch texlive-texmf-errata-fonts-2007-7.1.el6.noarch texlive-xetex-2007-57.el6_2.x86_64 texlive-latex-2007-57.el6_2.x86_64 texlive-texmf-errata-xetex-2007-7.1.el6.noarch texlive-texmf-context-2007-38.el6.noarch May not be a good idea to download them one by one. How do update the whole distribution? Also, should remove the texlive-2007 before update to texlive-2011? -Daniel.
