Package: febootstrap (2.1-4)

tool for bootstrapping a Fedora system (like Debian debootstrap)

febootstrap is a tool for creating a Fedora boot filesystem. You can think of it as the Fedora equivalent of debootstrap. Like debootstrap, febootstrap doesn't need to be run as root.

febootstrap comes with tools to create initrd.img (initramfs) images directly. There are also tools to minimize the size of the generated system by removing unnecessary files.
