I'm a bit late to this party, but Jindrich Novy's Fedora TeXLive repo
for F17 works well.  This has been integrated into F18 as the default
LaTeX subsystem.  The older TeXLive packaging system (the default in
F17) didn't work very well at all, which I guess has been your
experience.

Contra the purists here, my advice would be to wipe all traces of
TeXLive--either RPMs or native install--and install this one.
