You can also do this: # mkdir /mnt/test # yum --disablerepo=* --enablerepo=fedora --disableplugins=* \ --installroot=/mnt/test groupinstall Base - this will fail - # cp -a /var/cache/yum/fedora /mnt/test/var/cache/yum/ # yum --disablerepo=* --enablerepo=fedora --disableplugins=* \ --installroot=/mnt/test groupinstall Base and you have a small jail with a good start. Once you have the jail with the package-set you like, tar it up for quick creation of new jails later. :) I think this is the closest thing to an equivalent of "debootstrap" in Fedora.
