Occasionally, even *that* package gets updated, so it's not an indicator
of install time.  Unless someone else knows of something intended to show
you the installation date, you are better off looking for some files in 
the /root directory that get created as part of the installation routine.

e.g. Inside my /root:

-rw-------. 1 root root     1227 Apr 23  2014 anaconda-ks.cfg
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root     1244 Apr 24  2014 initial-setup-ks.cfg

But, rpm -qi fedora-release:

Name        : fedora-release
Version     : 20
Release     : 4
Architecture: noarch
Install Date: Tue 26 May 2015 03:08:20 ACST

And, rpm -q --changelog fedora-release:

Obviously most of that is pre-release, but some of it is post.
