Re: [Lxc-users] Issues in using lxc in Fedora 14
Hi, Thanks everyone for the time to reply back. My only reason for using FEDORA14 is I am really uncomfortable with systemd which got added into FEDORA15 and above. I initially started up with FEDORA17 and ended up with issues in systemd which needed some manual changes to make it work on FEDORA17. As pointed eventhough FEDORA14 is EOL I just wanted to try it out without systemd jargon as I am trying for embedded environment. If there is any better alternative without systemd I could try the same. As michael pointed out I could try 0.9 version of lxc library. On Wed, Jul 31, 2013 at 9:53 AM, Michael H.

You accept that burden and responsibility of upgrading and staying on that edge. You made that choice. If you have to stay at the Fedora 14 level, you should not be on Fedora at all, you should be on CentOS 6 or similar which has a longer support and release cycle. But, then you don't get the nice new shiny toys we're building here. Goes with the territory. You can't have it both ways. Sorry if I'm coming across harsh here but Fedora 14 has to be a non-starter at this point. It's not worth wasting time here. You are on an unsupported version of Fedora using an unsupported version of LXC. First step... Get up to date. I don't have your problem at all. But... I'm running F17 on my test host (which is near EOL already) and F18 on my production engines
