Knew that already. :) But I like the flexibility of being able to
install the release.rpm that I want into the chroot. This way I can pick
which release I want to install. It works better for my situation.

Cool. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to work when using --installroot :(

I get this error:

The GPG key at
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/extras/RPM-GPG-KEY-
Fedora-Extras (0x1AC70CE6)
is already installed but is not the correct key for this package.
Check that this is the correct key for the "Fedora Extras - 3 - i386"
repository.


I checked with rpm --root $PWD/../INSTALL -q gpg-pubkey and it seems
that it doesn't actually install the gpgkey???

If I rpm --import the gpgkey into the chroot myself then everything
works.

Cool. But I get lots of user/group blah does not exist warnings. Not
really a big deal though. I guess I can just add the user/groups myself.

Heh...thanks.

Umm...mounting /selinux in the chroot causes all kinds of problems. I
get all kinds of AVC errors all over the place and things go really
squirrelly. :( Things seem to work fine without it though so no biggie.

Thanks, I'll keep that one in mind. :)
