" summary

Step-by-step procedure for installing Fedora without Anaconda using only standard Linux tools: partition by MBR/GPT with correct partition type codes, mount and bind /dev /proc /sys, create and chroot into an empty root, copy repository configs into /etc/yum.repos.d before dnf --installroot to avoid using host repos, groupinstall kernal and core groups, write partition labels into /etc/fstab, set root password by inserting a hash. Live demo on UDOO x86_64 demo, uses bash, coreutils, chroot, dnf, and reports 15 minutes install, two years to develop.
