I guess you have to consider the source of the information. ME: About 5 days of experience with Vserver OTHERS: A whole lot more -!!!- Could be the qemu is a less trouble free route to take. Consider: If you install a standard distribution, you will end up editing the structure of its init sequence. - - - vserver will start but you will see a lot of - - - messages about things that init could not do. - - - This is not fatal, or even harmful. If you install a distribution already tailored for running under a virtual server (anybodies) then the structure of its init sequence has probably already been edited. So using the qemu version of a distribution might be what you should do - I can't say for sure, so just try it. - - - - I did learn one thing while looking at the Fedora pages - they have instructions for using yum - and linux-vserver has support for yum package management. I can't say - have never done it. Mike _______________________________________________ Vserver mailing list [email protected] http://list.linux-vserver.org/mailman/listinfo/vserver
