How can I set a Fedora 13 chroot inside of Fedora 16
Hi
My host is Fedora-16 and I am trying to create a fedora-13 system inside chroot.
I am doing the following steps:
export CHROOT=/media/TestVol/
cd /tmp/
wget https://archives.fedoraproject.org/pub/archive/fedora/linux/releases/13/Fedora/i386/os/Packages/fedora-release-13-1.noarch.rpm
mkdir -p $CHROOT/var/lib/rpm
rpm --rebuilddb --root=$CHROOT
rpm -i --root=$CHROOT --nodeps fedora-release-13-1.noarch.rpm
yum --installroot=$CHROOT install -y rpm-build yum # This FAILS
It works fine until the last step, giving error about GPG key issue. It works if I use the same command with --nogpgcheck flag. Can anyone point me what is the issue and how to solve it ?
Also, I would like to assign a IP-address to the chroot environment and run services like httpd. Please let me know how it can be done.

Please post the specific error you are getting.
It sounds like you really want to do more than just have a chrooted filesystem tree — you want to run a whole Fedora under the other one. Take a look at this question about containers, which might be a good approach. Or, you could look at KVM-based virtualization, which is the typical way to do this these days.
@Mohan — is there a key file at that location? If so, run
rpm --import /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora-i386.If there's not a lot of IO, VM overhead can be pretty low. But look at the link I posted above — containers don't have even that overhead. It's really the right way to do this.
Import them all. RPM won't mind.
