DESCRIPTION

         rinse is a simple script which is designed to be able to install
        a minimal working installation of an RPM-based distribution into
        a directory.

         The tool is analogous to the standard Debian GNU/Linux debootstrap
        utility.

USAGE

         To use this script you will need to be root.  This is required
        to mount /proc, run chroot, and more.

         Basic usage is as simple as:

          rinse --distribution fedora-core-6 --directory /tmp/test

         This will download the required RPM files and unpack them into
        a minimal installation of Fedora Core 6.

         To see which RPM files would be downloaded, without actually
        performing an installation or downloading anything, then you
        may run the following:

          rinse --distribution fedora-core-6 --print-uris

TODO

         Short of supporting more distributions or architectures there aren't
        really any outstanding issues.
