Good Day Zain!

I just (first time) installed kolab in an experimental environment. So my knowledge is still quite fresh, hope it will help you.

Note: I use debian, but I suppose it will work the same way on fedora.

Apparently I started of reading the docs like:
http://wiki.kolab.org/index.php/Kolab2_Installation_-_Binary

Then I installed the openpkg environment (as root do)

# create a directory to install openpkg
mkdir /openpkg
mkdir /tmp/openpkg

# download the 20MB - here's the latest release of openpkg
cd /tmp/openpkg
wget -c ftp://ftp.openpkg.org/release/2.3/SRC/openpkg-2.3.0-2.3.0.src.sh

# and bootstrap (compiling - this will take some time...)
sh openpkg-2.3.0-2.3.0.src.sh --prefix=/openpkg

if bootstraping complets successfully, it will tell you how to proceed with the last step to complete openpkg installation :)

will look a little like 
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| You have successfully built the OpenPKG Package from scratch                |
| for prefix /test on target platform ix86-debian3.1. The input               |
| was the OpenPKG Source Bootstrap Package in file:                           |
and so on...

now for the kolab installation
mkdir /tmp/kolab

# download the ~150M - here's the latest release of kolab
cd /tmp/kolab
wget -r http://www.fruitsalad.org/kolab/server/beta/kolab-server-2.0-rc-1/ix86-debian3.0/

# now that all files are downloaded, let's install
cd /tmp/kolab/www.fruitsalad.org/kolab/server/beta/kolab-server-2.0-rc-1/ix86-debian3.0/
chmod u+x obmtool
./obmtool kolab

# remember, no servers shall be running
# on ports 21,25,80,143,389,443,465,636,993,995,2000
# maybe check with nmap if you're unsure...
nmap localhost

# here we go, kolab install
/kolab/etc/kolab/kolab_bootstrap -b

# note: this machine should have a fix IP address and a coresponding dns name like
# kolab.biddulphs.co.za

# and now start kolab
/kolab/bin/openpkg rc all start

so long!
