I have been attempting to install FreeVSD 1.4.9 for RH7.2 using C-ber.net's instructions. BTW: thanks for all your help on that Saaib.
I keep receiving a "Read Timeout" error when attempting to create a vs. I am posting here for two reasons. One, if anyone has any ideas to help with the above problem. Two, if anyone has relatively successful method of installing freevsd with webmin in the skels. I saw a post regarding this a bit back, and am very intereseted in testing it out. Thanks!
