There's no simple documentation on how to create a rootfs.

Before supermin, it was febootstrap that had some obvious
options/arguments on how to create a Fedora rootfs.

With supermin, it is zilsch. There are no option, and there is no
template. So even if I ru a `supermin --prepare` there's not much it'll
do on a Debian box, to create a Fedora rootfs ???

* Ritesh Raj Sarraf:
supermin can not be used to build a Fedora rootfs -- at least not on
non-Fedora/Redhat systems.

I agree that some clarifications could be added to the manpage.

I checked on the README shipped with the package.
That document confused me. The Febootstrap 2.x section claims that 3.x
can build many varieties of Linux distros. :-)


IMPORTANT NOTE FOR USERS OF SUPERMIN 4.x: supermin 5.x is a rewrite of
  supermin 4.  It is compatible at a high level with supermin 4 /
  febootstrap 3, but requires some command line adjustments.

IMPORTANT NOTE FOR USERS OF FEBOOTSTRAP 3.x:
  supermin 4.x is just an evolution of febootstrap 3.x (really we just
  renamed it). The previous febootstrap program is now called
  supermin. The previous febootstrap-supermin-helper program is now
  called supermin-helper. Apart from that they are identical, although
  they will evolve and add features over time.

IMPORTANT NOTE FOR USERS OF FEBOOTSTRAP 2.x:
  febootstrap 3.x is a complete rewrite.  febootstrap 2.x could only
  build Fedora distributions.  This version can build many varieties
  of Linux distros.  3.x only builds supermin appliances, it does not
  build chroots.  3.x does not build cross-distro, cross-release or
  cross-architecture systems.  If you want febootstrap 2.x, please use
  the 'febootstrap-2.x' branch from the git repository.
