It appears that only those present are available to me, so my next question would be is there a way to add distributions to this directory manually? > >> Can I build fedora core 10 using other methods except for yum >> (like debootstrap) or template? > > sure, but I doubt anybody has created a > debootstrap archive for f10 (yet), rpm and > template, as well as rsync or clone should > work fine ... How would I build fc10 guest using rpm or template?
