Hi there, Just wanted to report some success running Fedora Core 1 in a vserver (Red Hat 7.3 base) as well as share a problem I had and a script I wrote to make future FC1 vserver installs trivial (for me, at least).
First the problem: the glibc that comes with FC1 didn't like running some programs (like RPM :( ) -- it failed with "cannot enable executable stack as shared object requires". I fixed the problem by rebuilding the glibc RPM with the glibc-execstack-disable patch (comes with the glibc RPM). The script to install an FC1 vserver essentially does: - init rpm database - install enough rpms to get yum running - get yum to install everything else - other minor setup tasks (disable services, set up resolv.conf, etc.) I haven't tested the resulting installed-vserver too much, but the few things I tried worked fine, and anything missing can easily be installed with yum. See http://www.netcraft.com.au/geoffrey/vserver/ for the script and more discussion. Comments are welcome! Have fun, -- Geoffrey D.
