hopefully, otherwise it won't work, it's not a VM or
VMM, Linux-VServer is OS-Level virtualization :)

so you have to put the relevant stuff into the
context and provide that context with the necessary
capabilities (depends on the actual hw interfaces)

that _really_ depends on the hw and the software
used for e.g. interface and input ...

you can put services into a context quite early in
the system startup, you could even put the entire
host init process into a context from initramfs

you might want to have a look at the MoreUbuntu
solution for multi seat linux ...

[Vserver] how to make default system running on the top of one vserver?

2007-03-18 Thread Wenbin Zhang

Hello Guys,

I have one question here, how to make default system running on the top of
one vserver? That is:

-
 vserver
---
 host linux

 hardware
---

1) I setup one server on the default host system.( Both the host system and
the verser are linux).
2) After the machine power on and boot, the whole thing will be taken over
by the vserver, say, the GUI display, the input are controlled by vserver
automatically. After boot, the user were not expected to use the host linux
again.
3) But the display/input control still can be switched to the host linux in
case of need. After using, the control will be able to switch back to
vserver.

Any good idea to achieve this?

Thanks,
Wenbin
