Ah, forgot that. No stupid question but late night mail writing.

rinse will be continued to be maintained by Steve Kemp. We will move
its web page out of xen-tools.org in the future.

It currently doesn't work due to a not uptodate list of archive URLs
(for at least Fedora), see
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=573390

It's yet another reason for trying to get febootstrap work as that one
seems uptodate, but compared to rpmstrap its still more uptodate. :-)

		Kind regards, Axel
