As I've shared with you in an email before, febootstrap is a misnomer.
It has a very different structure to debootstrap. This is even evident
by looking at the package contents [1].

Anyway, if it works, i guess thats enough, I'm just warning that it
might not be perfect for what we're doing.

RHEL/CentOS/Fedora only support Anaconda (the RH Installer) scripting
for such installations. These scripts are known as "kickstart" scripts,
which are written in python. CentOS even has a xen domU netboot
installer initrd [2].

Just a heads up.

P.S. @Axel: sorry for not replying to the list :)
