utility similar to debootstrap

[Sri Ramadoss M]

Hi all,

Do we have in fedora a utility similar to debootstrap that will help
creating a Fedora base system from scratch?

yum has a --installroot option or you can use mock depending on what you 
intend to use it for.

Thanks. I also found rpmstrap, pretty old but and unmaintained now.

Well, I have packages identified and listed for making a custom storage
distro that can be used for Backup, Shares etc., (NAS). Now need to build
upon it further.

I have a local yum repository to which the the identified rpms are added.
Now trying to work beyond that. The tool has to fetch from the repo, give me
a base system and then depending upon the components chosen, install extra
packages to it.
