The Fedora tarball contains a layer.tar file that contains the raw filesystem. I like doing it this way because I don't have to depend on the host yum/dnf to set up the filesystem. This would work too for non-rpm systems (or for RHEL) as well but I haven't had the need so I haven't searched for the appropriate media. -- Jeff Ollie
