Re: [Vserver] debian host wants centos guest
Hi Peter, I tried this tool, but nothing really work. Did you set up succesfully a system using rpmstrap?

It is inspired by debootstrap, and allows you to build chroots and basic systems from RPM sources. At present rpmstrap can build basic Fedora Core 2, Fedora Core 3, Fedora Core 4, Yellowdog 4, CentOS 3, CentOS 4, Mandriva and Scientific Linux systems.

Yes. i cannot made it . i have setup a server using vyum and -d centos4 but i got a system so tiny that i havent any yum or rpm or any package (not even vi) and anything i want to install fails. Fails how? How are you trying to install it? If you want the guest to manage its own packages, you should run: vyum guest -- install yum vserver guest pkgmgmt internalize -- Daniel Hokka Zakrisson ___ Vserver mailing list Vserver@list.linux-vserver.org http://list.linux-vserver.org/mailman/listinfo/vserver
