Fedora chroot creation scripts for Debian
-----------------------------------------

This is a collection of scripts to automate creation of a chroot that contains
a base Fedora system. It only works for Fedora 19 and 20, so it isn't really
all that useful. If your distribution provides a package for rinse, you should
use that instead.

Define the details of the installation by setting the environment variables in
the fedora-chroot-common.sh file:

  CHROOT:           The location of the chroot to be created.
  MIRROR:           The location of the release RPM.
  RELEASE_RPM:      The file name of the release RPM.
  RELEASE_VERSION:  The version of the release to use.

Run the host-scripts/chroot-setup.sh script as root, or using sudo:

  sudo ./host-scripts/chroot-setup.sh

If this succeeds, you can enter the chroot using the host-scripts/chroot-enter.sh
script:

  sudo ./host-scripts/chroot-enter.sh

The setup script mounts /dev and /proc inside the chroot. If these become
unmounted, such as after a system restart, mount them again using the
host-scripts/chroot-mount-proc.sh script:

  sudo ./host-scripts/chroot-mount-proc.sh

To delete the chroot, use the host-scripts/chroot-remove.sh script:

  sudo ./host-scripts/chroot-remove.sh

This unmounts the /dev and /proc directories inside the chroot and deletes
the chroot directory.
