Rinse
-----
The rinse utility is designed to install a minimal RPM-based
distribution of GNU/Linux within a local directory.
The purpose and usage are analogous to the 'debootstrap' utility
familiar to users of Debian GNU/Linux.
Rationale
---------
This tool is being developed primarily for use by the xen-tools
software, so that new Xen guests may be easily created running
RPM-based distributions of GNU/Linux. It's also used by FAI (Fully
Automatic Installation) for rpm based installations.
RPMStrap is the common solution to this problem, however it
is rarely successful.
