Re: Equivalent of debootstrap for Fedora

Hi,
As a Fedora Extras contributor, I would like to install parts of rawhide in a
chroot (I currently run FC-5, and will upgrade to FC-6 soon).
I know that I can install it with Anaconda, in a partition of my disk. But I
would have prefere to do it without rebooting my computer.
Is there a tool, similar to Debian's debootstrap, that allows to install a
version of Fedora in a chroot? In a way, mock has this feature. Is there a
practical way to use parts of mock code to do it?
You just answered it: mock

(see bottom of file)
Alternatively, install Rawhide as a Xen guest? I have not tried this,
since the last time I checked the Xen host kernel does not do ACPI.
