Could you explain this a little more please? Where do I get the initial RHEL base to use for the vserver-new command? I'm running Gentoo for the host and I have Gentoo tarballs to use with vserver-new.

I created an empty vserver in /vservers/RHEL4-base/ with "vserver-new". I used "rpm -i --prefix /vservers/RHEL4-base/" to install rpm and bash, with all the other package requirements I needed for these to work. I modified the /etc/vserver/RHEL4-base/fstab to include the mounted cdrom drive on /mnt/cdrom. I then chroot "/vservers/RHEL4-base/ /bin/bash" and installed all the packages I needed for a base image I could copy. >From that I created a tgz I could install with vserver-new.
