Problem with inconsolata font (again) --- on Fedora 17 this time.

Some while ago I posted a problem on this list concerning a failure of
R CMD check on one of my packages that resulted from LaTeX being
unable to find the "inconsolata" font. This was under the Ubuntu OS.
This was solved, thanks to advice I got from this list, basically by
doing
sudo apt-get install texlive-fonts-extra
I am now (for reasons which I won't go into) running Fedora 17, on a
different computer. Now LaTeX cannot find the necessary inconsolata.sty
file.
I googled around a bit, and an item I found led me to check whether I
actually had texlive installed on my (new) system. I hadn't!!! So I did
sudo yum install texlive
and that seemed to work. But then the item I'd found indicated that I
should do
sudo yum install texlive-inconsolata, texlive-inconsolata-font
But I got:
No package texlive-inconsolata, available. No package texlive-inconsolata-font available.
I also tried
sudo yum install texlive-fonts-extra
with a similar result.
Can anyone give me a simple recipe as to how to get the inconsolata font
and the associated inconsolata.sty?
Thanks.
cheers,

One option is to install texlive-2012 for Fedora 17 following the instructions detailed here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/TeXLive#TeX_Live_2012_2 For Fedora 18 (that will be released next Wednesday) this is the default. FWIW the delay in texlive update was due to the (la)tex classes auditing that was only completed last year. Regards,
