Excellent.  How many of the other distributions do you think can easily be
boot-strapped from their FTP archives without requiring a CD in the drive?

I think, with some limitations a suse vserver can also be created from an ftp archive. the limitation is that I didn't find a bootstrap for suse (I didn't deal much with bootstraps so far) so it means there have to be a few files copied into the vserver dir.
my suse installation scripts also need to install the packages twice, since aaa_base and ncurses are not installed on the first run (don't ask me why). this produces more traffic than desired.

Yup, it's related to the fakeinit fiddling that is going on to make the
first-process in a context look-like it has pid=1, whereas the real pid=1
process is in a different context and so you can't access its resources.

`du' will give the correct answer though, it's much like the cosmetic
problems with `lsof'.

yeah right. below this error message there's the correct output of the filesizes.
