Got it.  Installed CentOS 5&6 quite nicely on my Fedora 19 system.  I
need to give it a close look over, particularly with regards to distro
independent installation (IOW, installing say CentOS on OpenSuse, which
was failing).  This should go into the package, ASAP.

I accomplished that with an "rpm --rebuilddb" sortly after installing
the minimal packages.

This is good.  Much appreciated.  I'll look the actual code over in
closer detail later.

You said it was based on the "official lxc-fedora template".  That
template has been changing (by me).  What version of LXC where you
working from?
