  No.  There is a bug (?) in xt-install-system.  The --mirror
 option is ignored for rpmstrap, and only used for debootstrap.

  See the code :

      my $command = "rpmstrap $EXTRA $CONFIG{'dist'} $CONFIG{'location'}";

  $EXTRA is used for "--arch=foo", if present, the only other options
 passed are the distribution and the location on the local filesystem.

  Please try editing the script to add --mirror=$CONFIG{'mirror'} in
 the do_rpmstrap function, in the same way as is used in the
 do_debootstrap function.

  If that works I'll update the code when I get back to Edinburgh,
 which will be tomorrow.

  cheers for the bug report.

Steve
