Note that this is already written in the beforementioned page, see http://doc.sagemath.org/html/en/installation/source.html#linux-prerequisite-installation for the first point and http://doc.sagemath.org/html/en/installation/source.html#additional-software for the second Perhaps the page is not well organized enough, but the information is there. texlive-full is definitely overkill (and very huge), you will get all kind of stuff (music, biology,...), while texlive seems enough to the few show() formula renderings.
