Er, this sounds silly, but did you remember to chroot before running it?
The rescue shell runs already with uid=0! (confirmed by an id command)
Why did you do this from a rescue shell? And when you say 'the
keyboard
remains US', *where* exactly? Desktops have their own keyboard layout
settings which can override the system-wide ones.
Hi Adam,
for clarification only: I *booted the install DVD* by selecting
"Troubleshoot" and then selecting "rescue a fedora system" (I did
*not
boot the installed OS* with advanced options/selecting the OS rescue
mode)! This boots into some TTY!
As soon as the shell was available, I used "system-config-keyboard" from
that TTY to select another keyboard type (booting the rescue DVD does
not allow such a selection), in my case german-no-deadkeys. Was
accepted, but effectless.

parted is, that's the 'recommended' tool.
Accepted.

yeah, you're not really supposed to be able to yum from within rescue, I
don't think.
You don't think, or you know? How to install additional packages
elsewise? And why then it's possible to call yum in the rescue shell?
Kind regards
