I'm confused! What use cases is the new febootstrap primarily intended for? I'm mainly trying to figure out if I'm trying to put a square peg into a round hole.
What I'm looking into is using linux containers (LXC) either using libvirt or lxc-tools) to create jails for a web hosting type environment. I can see that in the long run btrfs has some nice features to help with this too.
Is febootstrap really intended for this kind of use case?
No. I strongly suggest using yum with the --installroot option. febootstrap is intended for building supermin appliances, see: http://libguestfs.org/febootstrap.8.html#supermin_appliances Rich. -- Richard Jones, Virtualization Group, Red Hat http://people.redhat.com/~rjones virt-top is 'top' for virtual machines.
