Rootpath doesn't make any difference when you run in test-mode but if you take away the --test option then with --rootpath it will go on and perform the full install chrooted to the directory you specified. I'd suggest changing that to something else than your home directory root, something like /home/setha/rhinstall or whatever.. - Panu -
