Configurations:
0. Extract the archive to any location you see fit.
1. Copy your /etc/resolve.conf to /path/to/chroot/etc
2. Copy or create /path/to/chroot/etc/etc/fstab [depedning on whether you want the mounts your host machine has]. 
Also see 'man 8 mount' for binding options.
3. Optionally, you may want to copy other configuration files from your hosting machine such as /etc/hosts
4. As super user run:
# chroot /path/to/chroot

Optionally, you may want to mount /dev and /tmp from your hosting system like so:
# mount -o bind /dev /path/to/chroot/dev
# mount -o bind /tmp /path/to/chroot/tmp

This will also allow running X apps from within the chroot.

That's the basics. 
After following these steps, you're suppose to have a functioning chroot where yum or aptitude works properly [be sure to mount /proc and /sys beforehand].
From here, you can do as you wish.
