Hello
my first post.  
I appreciate some basic information on the texlive install on Fedora 13.
I have been using the default install without any issue for a while. 

Now I need to update biblatex and I am a little lost.  I have downloaded
the latest biblatex folder, but it seems I need to update a number of
other packages too, so I would rather to update the entire textlive.
Note I would like not to update to Fedora 14.

See below \note1 what I get by > yum info texlive

When I tried to yum update texlive, I get a numbers of errors (see
\note2). I am not trying to use "--skip-broken to work around the
problem" or to run ": rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest" yet, since I am not
sure what they mean and imply.

Also, I am not sure what "Repository texlive is listed more than once in
the configuration" really means and implies.

Last but not least, how do I check whether or not the texlive manager is
working or not? How am I supposed to launch it?

Any advise is very welcome.
Thanks
Regards
mario
