I installed Fedora 14 yesterday in a 1GB virtual machine. The install went smoothly except that when I clicked ³Reboot² after the installation finished it didn¹t. The unmounts took place but that's about as far as it went. Bash was still responsive but as there was nothing mounted no commands could be entered. A #CP IPL command kicked things off again.
When I was up the eth0 device defined in the install process was present but unconfigured. I entered ifup eth0 and it magically configured itself and I was online.
I installed a basic server and then used yum to install the other stuff I was interested in. Some problems: - system-config-network requires python-iwlib but it isn't found by yum (I assume it was probably in the installation repository but it's not in those found in fedora.repo) - system-config-users really needs dejavu fonts but it's not a dependency. Without it you get garbage for text

not sure it this is true also in F-14, but in RHEL-6 with the minimal installation you must start/enable the "network" service manually because the NetworkManager service, normally taking care of the network interfaces, is not installed there

- system-config-network requires python-iwlib but it isn't found by yum (I

python-iwlib is missing completely in F-14, it was originally excluded from the s390(x) package set and it was kept by mistake on the list of packages that are skipped during build, I will add it as a F-14 update
F-15 should be OK
- system-config-users really needs dejavu fonts but it's not a dependency.

hm, is this really specific to system-config-users or are also other GUI applications affected?

It was the only one I tried. It also crapped out with Xwindows errors that I haven't had time to pursue:
Gdk-ERROR **: The program 'system-config-users.py' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'BadLength (poly request too large or internal Xlib length erro'. (Details: serial 3588 error_code 16 request_code 28 minor_code 0) (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously; that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it. To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.) aborting... /usr/share/system-config-users/system-config-users: line 4: 12502 Aborted /usr/bin/python2 /usr/share/system-config-users/system-config-users.py

python-iwlib now available at http://s390.koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=49159
