Hi there
Has anyone ever tried installing Fedora Server 21 from OVHs rescue system? I'm trying to do so since 3 hours now and I don't have any success at all. According to some reaaaally old posts you can just grab the "fedora-release-.rpm" and "fedora-repos-.rpm", install them with yum/rpm by using the --installroot/--root parameter, install "yum" with localinstall, chroot into that newly built "ultra-minimal-base-system", install some packages, install Grub, mess around in some files and that's it!
But I struggled with so many things already, starting from outdated yum/rpm versions (remember, OVHs rescue system is Debian based...), strange Makefile scripts when I tried to compile RPM for myself, weird Yum file compression errors, weird XML errors with Yum, missing Python libraries, permission errors, yum PKI errors, and so on... It get's really frustrating to debug errors like "bad magic". As soon as I fix one issue, another one pops up. Am I just doing it the ultra-stupid way or is there any easy solution for that?
And no, KVM-over-IP and OVH-Installer aren't a proper solution. The first thing costs me 30€ per installation, the second thingy is ultra-stupid in regards of partitioning.
