[Vserver] Read this guide if you plan to give vs20 a try! [Comment: Please dont use these by now! I spotted some problems - updates to come]
Hello Herbert, I have a special question to the Step-by-Step documentation, I tried for several days to install vs2.0 and yesterday I've read this comment in the subject. Now I wanna know if it is not possible to install these version or shpould I try to install the older version VServer 1.2.10 and where ist the How To, or can I make it in the same way as with the vs2.0, because I have patched the kernel with patch-2.6.12.4-vs2.0.diff.bz2! Thanx for help Greetinx Stefan ___ Vserver mailing list Vserver@list.linux-vserver.org http://list.linux-vserver.org/mailman/listinfo/vserver
[Vserver] update on rc4
in a short phrase it took everything i could give it. after 7.5 hrs running, individual stop start restart worked fine. using init script, global stop start restart worked fine. rebooting letting init shut them down worked fine. ill try again tonight after 12-14 hrs running and if that passes then once more tomorrow night after 24 hrs running looking good so far! -- Chuck ___ Vserver mailing list Vserver@list.linux-vserver.org http://list.linux-vserver.org/mailman/listinfo/vserver

[Vserver] Missing Gentoo init script?
It appears that the ebuild for util-vserver-0.30.208-r3 is missing the vprocunhide init script. On a clean system it did not install one and I could not find one.
