Hi all, Do we have in fedora a utility similar to debootstrap that will help creating a Fedora base system from scratch?

Thanks. I also found rpmstrap, pretty old but and unmaintained now.

Well, I have packages identified and listed for making a custom storage distro that can be used for Backup, Shares etc., (NAS). Now need to build upon it further. I have a local yum repository to which the the identified rpms are added. Now trying to work beyond that. The tool has to fetch from the repo, give me a base system and then depending upon the components chosen, install extra packages to it.
