I have been in this situation. I had to set the PYTHONPATH environment
variable in order for yum to find the modules it needs. Something like:

# export PYTHONPATH=/mnt/sysimage/usr/share/yum-cli
# yum --installroot=/mnt/sysimage .....

Interesting, I'll have to give that a try before submitting a bug. I presume this would be an easy fix to implement on future install discs.

Thanks,

Richard
