I took a working karmic chroot and dropped it into CentOS. This was easy to do and works very nicely. Mail me if you want the nbd, tempfile (I needed squashfs-tools to do squash4 on CentOS, but I think FC11 already does that) rpm that I created for CentOS (tempfile is trivial a one line change in the ltsp-tools, but I did it anyway) Of interest you can chroot and use the apt tools to maintain it.
