Database
Fedora uses a relational database to support some of its functions. To simplify installation, the Fedora installer includes and can configure an embedded instance of the Derby SQL Database 10.8.52.32. Fedora supports four external databases: MySQL, Oracle, PostgreSQL and Microsoft SQL Server. The embedded Derby database should only be used for evaluation and development purposes; Derby should not be used for any production repository. It is recommended that you use one of the supported external databases which must be installed, configured and running before proceeding with the installation.

...

If set, tomcat and fedora command line utilities will use the specified java vm.  Otherwise, all utilities will attempt to use the java version available by default within the user's PATH.   This should point to the base directory of your Java installation. On Windows systems, this might be C:\java. For UNIX derivatives, this might be something like /usr/local/jdk1.6.0_1733.

FEDORA_HOME
Required for running command line utilities.  Optional for running installer.  Ignored when running the Fedora server unless fedora home directory is not otherwise specified.

...

Fedora is designed to be RDBMS-independent. Fedora has been tested with Derby, McKoi, MySQL, Oracle, PostgreSQL and Microsoft SQL Server. The embedded version of Derby included with the installer is provided as a convenience; Derby is not recommended for use in production repositories. If you choose to use any database other than the embedded Derby provided by the Fedora Installer, you must install that database first.

Tip

Fedora can also be installed in non-interactive mode by specifying an install.properties file as an argument to the installer. After installing interactively, you will find an install.properties file in your $FEDORA_HOME/install/ directory. You can use this file as a template for future, non-interactive installations. *Take care if you are using an install.properties file from an earlier release as the file may not contain some properties defined in the later release, default settings will be used in this case, which may or may not be appropriate for your installation.
