I'm going to try a CentOS 4 install as soon ( as I menting in another message ) I get a new power supply for one of my systems at home. Looking at the sources.list for apt I tried a couple of pings and they failed. The CentOS 4 HOWTO looks , at first glance , to make this a non-problem since I understand yum better than apt. The idea to break them out into a separate package would be good. > Building the vserver will succeed but it will not be possible to use an > unmodified 'vyum' with a running vserver.

Just for fun here it is! # vserver test start save_ctxinfo: symlink("/usr/local/etc/vservers/test","/usr/local/etc/vservers/.defaults/run.rev/49153"): No such file or directory An error occured while executing the vserver startup sequence; when there are no other messages, it is very likely that the init-script (/etc/rc.d/rc 3) failed. Common causes are: * /etc/rc.d/rc on Fedora Core 1 and RH9 fails always; the 'apt-rpm' build method knows how to deal with this, but on existing installations, appending 'true' to this file will help. Failed to start vserver 'test' BTW, I was suspecting the RPM build was bogus so I did a .configure ; make ; make check ; make install and I'm still get the errors.
