The sections below contain instructions for using the template and provide some examples for common use cases.
There are currently three Minimal templates corresponding to the standard [Fedora](/doc/templates/fedora/), [Debian](/doc/templates/debian/), [CentOS](/doc/templates/centos/) and [Gentoo](/doc/templates/gentoo/) templates.
