Using febootstrap , please help
Hello, I am new to febootstrap. I am struggling to install fedora 14 on disk.img (formatted with ext4fs) mounted on /mnt/temp . How to use febootstrap to do this ? Does it require any yum configuration ? I searched the web for documentation on this , but nothing is clearly mentioned. Please anyone tell me how to do this. I am doing this on Fedora 14 host. -- Onkar

That documentation is old and refers to a previous version of febootstrap. The latest version of febootstrap doesn't work like that at all. If you want to install Fedora in a disk image, I would recommend using the "Oz" tool written by Chris Lalancette (it uses libguestfs too, coincidentally): http://clalance.blogspot.com/2011/09/oz-070-release.html Rich. -- Richard Jones, Virtualization Group, Red Hat http://people.redhat.com/~rjones virt-p2v converts physical machines to virtual machines. Boot with a live CD or over the network (PXE) and turn machines into Xen guests. http://et.redhat.com/~rjones/virt-p2v

By the way, I wrote a short tutorial on using Oz here: https://rwmj.wordpress.com/2011/08/30/playing-with-oz-install/ Rich. -- Richard Jones, Virtualization Group, Red Hat http://people.redhat.com/~rjones New in Fedora 11: Fedora Windows cross-compiler.
