Ok, as suggested in the other posting will try the apm module... > But why are you trying to use such old HW for OpenVZ ?? It's for someone else whom I donated my old mainboards. He wants to rent and administer his own public VPS. I told him that he can try and learn it first at home on the old HW I had sent him, including iptables, b/c network security is very important in such an hostile environment like the internet (ie. hack attempts, spammers etc.). >From my own experience it takes some weeks/months before a newbie can use and administer a Linux VPS, especially when he/she comes from the Windows camp... :-) _______________________________________________ Users mailing list [email protected] https://openvz.org/mailman/listinfo/users
