I have done this as a means of installing different distributions, so I don't see it as being a problem in your case. It will not be a quick and simple thing to do though. After doing the copy & configuring the vserver, you will need to clean up the start scripts (/etc/rc.d/...) to avoid starting up all the infrastructure process that either you won't need running in the vserver or will cause problems or fail if run.
I don't mean to make it sound like a monstrous task - it isn't. However it isn't a 10-minute "copy then run" job either. -John On Thu, 6 Feb 2003, Eje Gustafsson wrote: > Anyone take a single server and move it into a vserver ? > > I have 3 machines today on separate hardware two of them are old slow > machines and one if a fast machine.
