Hi,

for a deployment of virtual machines I need a complete root tree.
To get it I use mock --init --root=fedora-9-i386 (or any other release)

That works a little like debootstrap.

But what do I need to get my machine _really_ working (I already
installed yum, sshd and some tools)? For example I am missing /etc/shadow and cannot use passwd to set up a
root password.

So is there some kind of base packages list?

I believe that this is what:
   system-config-netboot.noarch
does.

Diskless clients need the same base as VM clients, especially if you want to run a minimal install for each VM client.

Recently, my son worked on a completely automated VM install that customers can do over the web, with live status. Pretty cool stuff, and he started here, with system-config-netboot.noarch.

Good luck!
