Really, febootstrap can't be used to create a rootfs at all any more?

Note that for me to use this template on ubuntu, I have to specify '-R 14',
but lxc-create doesn't allow me to forward that option.  So I have to
first create the config file and then run fedora2 by hand.  After that,
for some reason I still have no actual rootfs :(.

As for trouble with init - is your fedora using systemd?  How does it
actually start runlevel changes?  Upstart uses dbus over abstract unix
socket (which is containerized with netns), sysvinit uses ioctl over
/dev/init which is a distinct file from the one in the container...
Does systemd do something we're not containerizing right now?

I'd love to get a working fedora template.
