I always prefer to create my images on my own — Partly because of their sheer size, as you say, and partly because I'm a control freak ;-) I just sent another message to this same list showing the use of Debootstrap to set up a Debian-based system; this will get you only the base system installed. What I currently have is a base image I created that way, adding the packages I always want to have on the systems I administer that are not part of the base install (such as screen, emacs, git, less), set some site-wide configurations (i.e. my global user configuration), and use that as the base image for my containers. _______________________________________________ lxc-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linuxcontainers.org/listinfo/lxc-users
