I recommend to:
1. choose the best-fitting distribution from
/usr/lib/util-vserver/distributions; in your case, this is
probably fc4.
2. copy the files from there into a suitable directory under
/etc/vservers/.distributions/ :
| # cp -a /usr/lib/util-vserver/distributions/fc4 \
/etc/vservers/.distributions/wbel4
This directory ('wbel4') will be used later at the '-d' option
of the 'vserver ... build' command
3. adjust the initpre/initpost symlinks
4. depending on your installation method, you need to:
- create a sources.list for apt in the apt/ subdirectory, or
- adjust the yum repositories in the yum.repos.d/ subdir, or
- add/change files in the rpmlist.d/ subdir
When WhiteBox Enterprise Linux is like RHEL, you should now be
able to create new vservers with
| # vserver ... build -m yum ... -- -d wbel4
out-of-the-box (although it is strongly recommended to patch
yum).
