Hi,
I usually use Debian, but for a project I need to work in a
Redhat or Centos-like environment. So I decided to create a
CentOS chroot.
I did this by creating a largeish virtual disk for qemu, and
then booting qemu from the first installaton disk. I can then
later loopback mount the virtual disk and copy the files into a
directory for chrooting to. But CentOS seems to want to
install lots of guff I don't want. It also wants to instal
stuff from disks other than the first. How do I get a truly
minimal installation -- just enough to run yum ? Is there an
equivalent to debootstrap for CentOS/Fedora/RedHat ?
