Actually, I intend to setup an NFS filesystem that the Beagleboard will access through Ethernet. All what I need is to have the selected Fedora packages cross-compiled to the OMAP/ARM architecture. I want to inherit the structure, the packaging, the organization of Fedora and make it available for my embedded system.

Ilyes Gouta.

would seem that there are better ways to create the embedded environment.
Your Beagle board has limited RAM and at best a small SD card - hardly the
place for even the smallest Fedora installation.
Fedora, as a distribution, isn't really targeted to such a job.
There are other tools, such as PTXdist, much better set up for this.
