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.

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?
