Thanks for this!
"Easy Debian" will also work quite well for the chroot portion of setting up a Fedora rootfs...
Have they fixed the bug in Yum that makes it fail on ARM processors?
I tried previous Fedora versions, but they had ported so few apps to their repos that I gave up...

i noticed on your guide for mer..that you are using ext3 partition scheme..isnt it advisable for solid media to use ext2 and journalising the data is not needed on mmc as read times are really fast in bursts..ext3 will slow down the performance?
