1&1 Server with Fedora Core 5

[kieranjones]

I am just wondering whether anybody has managed to get a 1&1 supplied server running Fedora Core 5... I just attempted to this by using their re-image tool to image the server with Core 4 then use YUM to update to Core 5. This attempt however promptly broke Plesk. I was told by the support guys on the phone that this was because the operating system had been upgraded to Core 5 and that this had "broken" the license key.

Seems a bit odd that the license key would be preventing the operating system from being kept up to date.

Any ideas from anyone about this? I've actually not once had a topic I've posted be replied too, so if someone would actually like to reply and provide some insight that'd be nice.

I might have something that can help, I wrote an installer to put CentOS4 on a 1and1 box. Its really not that big of a deal to modify it to install some other distribution of choice, you can get it here:
