When installing from the DVD, the setup program asks one if one wants to add the symlinks automagically(i.e set the tex/latex paths). If this went too fast, you may have to add them manually, but it can be done.

In ~/ your home directory create a file ~/.bash_profile if it does not exist, or edit it if it does and add path like:
#!/bin/sh
PATH=/usr/local/bin/texlive2011/:$PATH
export PATH
And it should work. This will depend on where the tex executable are at.
You may also add them to ~/.bashrc, but in .bash_profile it should work. Now if you want to add them globally for all users in case the system has more users, a better approach is to add the paths to a file in /etc/profile.d/ with the paths to where the executables are at for texlive.
Hope this helps. Happy \TeX{}ing and \LaTeX{}ing!

Antonio
