I was not aware of yum(8) --installroot, thanks.
It could simplify the installation if host OS is already CentOS. Otherwise
the script is more about bugs workarounds and they are not resolved by yum(8).
* Missing CentOS yum(8) repositories in /etc/yum.repos.d/
* Missing CentOS imported GPG key to use unchanged repositories configs.
* Installing CentOS yum(8) by host OS FC4 rpm(8) makes rpm db incompatible.
* /etc/fstab, /dev/* still need to be created by the script.
(the list above is mostly the list of the command sets in the script)
And the chroot environment is already built so...
Thanks anyway,
Lace
