=head1 DESCRIPTION
you do run it as root, then it works slightly differently and may have
side effects such as stopping or starting system daemons.
-For more advanced needs, take a look at L<mock(1)> and
-C<livecd-creator>.
+For more advanced needs, take a look at L<mock(1)>, C<livecd-creator>
+and I<thincrust.net>'s C<appliance-creator>.
The normal output is a root directory located at I<TARGET> and
a fakeroot logfile at C<I<TARGET>/fakeroot.log>.
also use shell globs and filenames here, as with ordinary yum.
If no packages or groups are given, then we install the C<Core> group
-which is the smallest working Fedora installation. Use C<yum
-groupinfo Core> to list the packages currently in the C<Core> group.
+which is a small working Fedora installation (but by no means
+minimal). Use C<yum groupinfo Core> to list the packages currently in

+=item B<--no-clean>
+
+Normally febootstrap will clean up the yum repository
+(C</var/cache/yum> inside the image). This contains the downloaded
+RPMs and metadata. However if you give the C<--no-clean> option, then
+the yum repository is left. This is useful if you want to run further
+yum commands inside the filesystem by hand.
