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.

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.
