Hi,

Installed from source texlive-20100722. Thanks!

Writing a paper to Science and downloaded the style-files from
http://www.sciencemag.org/site/feature/contribinfo/prep/TeX_help/index.xhtml
Followed this wiki on how to install extra packages under texmf-local
http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/LaTeX/Packages/Installing_Extra_Packages

Running texhash or mktexlsr. It did not find all directories in
/usr/share/texmf*

Edited TEXMFLOCAL = $SELFAUTOPARENT/../texmf-local  on line 64 in
/usr/share/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf
to  TEXMFLOCAL =$SELFAUTOPARENT/texmf-local

Now root@slack:~# mktexlsr
mktexlsr: Updating /usr/share/texmf/ls-R...
mktexlsr: Updating /usr/share/texmf-config/ls-R...
mktexlsr: Updating /usr/share/texmf-dist/ls-R...
mktexlsr: Updating /usr/share/texmf-local/ls-R...
mktexlsr: Updating /usr/share/texmf-var/ls-R...
mktexlsr: Done.

finds texmv-local/ls-R and the installed sty files can be used in all
directories.
Don't know if this is a 'bug' but it might be possible to change in
the default path generation to the texmf tree.
Of course one can put all extra style files in a ~/texmf but to use
texmf-local make it neat and clean.

README

TeXLive (TeXLive binaries, support files, docs, TeX formats)

This package contains the binaries, support files, documentation, TeX formats 
and packages, and other files required for the TeXLive TeX distribution.  
Included are input files for TeX, runtime configuration files, hyphenation 
tables, manpages, and the computer modern fonts.

The resulting package is over 1GB in size, and a lot of space is required
during the build process, so you might want to consider defining an 
alternate location for TMP and OUTPUT if you have small /tmp partition.

Note that this package is intended to completely replace (and then some) the
tetex packages in Slackware, so you'll need to remove tetex and tetex-doc
before installing TeXLive.
