 Hello all,

 I'm sure someone has experience with this:

 How do I install packages from CTAN onto a SL5.5 system (for example:
 http://www.ctan.org/pkg/tcolorbox)? I can't seem to find a CTAN package
 in yum, and there's no tlmgr nor mpm on the repos as far as I can tell..?
  I suppose I can install it manually but there are package managers out
 there for a reason ;)

 Thanks!

The software suite, and source tarballs, are called tetex. Try yum
install /usr/bin/latex, and you'll get the tetex-latex package.
