I'd like to set up a chroot jail using the F7 installer. Is this
possible?
Specifically, I'd like to have the ability to create a minimal
development environment using the F7 distro. I'm hoping to even have
the ability to set it up using anaconda or similar. My practice to date
has been using linuxfromscratch.com to build the environment from
source, but I'd much rather just use an existing distro.
Apologies if this is a well-known issue, I'm a bit new to the chroot
command and Google didn't turn anything up.
