I used this.  I have a redhat 8 host systems and I chose the redhat 7.3 mini
install.  It just requires disk 1 from the redhat 7.3.  If you don't have
access to your server's cd-rom, you can simply download the ISO file to your
server's drive and mount it like
mount -t iso9660 -o loop redhatcd.iso /mnt/cdrom

It's nice, but it leaves off some things that I like to have installed.
Fortunately, I have a standard set of packages that I use so I was able to
create a skeleton image and then vrpm all the software I need.  I then use
it as my source for creating new vservers.

Subject: [vserver] newvserver question

Hi everyone,

When running the command 'newvserver', so far I have always built an
image from an existing vserver configuration.  This has worked fine, but
my curiosity has got the better of me:

What does selecting the options for 'Red Hat 7.3', 'Red Hat 8.0', etc.
do?  In particular, do you need the RPMs at a particular location, or
will just having a set of Red Hat CDs do?

Thanks,

GuruJ.
