I'm installing on a server I've got at home, and at the end of the setup I get the gethostbyname failed when creating the server; I'm assuming this is because the server is unable to get DNS cause there is none. Is there a way around this cause it seems like the setup doesn't finish properly?
As well, if I go to redo the setup, is it better to uninstall, rpm -e the rpm, then reinstall, run the setup again? When I try to do the setup I get an error after it asks for the admin username and password, seems like it's trying to connect and access information that didn't get into the ldap?
Thanks, I hope that all makes sense to someone.

I ended up installing bind and configuring dns locally. I wasn't able to get all the pieces to fit without it. I'm still having a few problems but no longer from DNS. I thought there was a way to remove a server but dont recall off hand. I'm actually just running rpm -e but there is an uninstall script at /opt/fedora-ds/uninstall
I haven't dealt with the DNS problem, but could you get around it with /etc/hosts? If all it's failing on is gethostbyname(thishost), then a proper /etc/hosts (and /etc/nsswitch.conf) should take care of that.
FDS lives entirely in /opt/fedora-ds, so the easiest way to completely uninstall it is:
# rpm -e fedora-ds # rm -rf /opt/fedora-ds
