I should emphasize, since I didn't say it before, that the
febootstrap-minimize tool (deliberately) removes parts of RPM
packages, so the appliance is no longer upgradable.  For what we use
it for that doesn't matter - we can build a new appliance in literally
3 minutes - but if you care about being to 'yum update' then don't use
that tool.
