VServer templates
For all those folks out there using Linux VServer – I’ve prepared templates with some popular Linux distributions. Creating VServer from template is much faster and will work on any VServer enabled system. They may also be used as regular chroots.
All templates contain just very base system so don’t expect any software there. You will have to install what you need and fully configure your VServer guest or chroot. It is not recommended to use these templates to install standalone systems. It is possible but requires knowledge of what is not required in VServer guest (thus missing from templates), but is required to properly boot standalone system.
Currently available distributions are: Centos 5.x, Fedora 10, Debian 5.0 (Lenny), Debian Unstable (Sid), Ubuntu 8.04 LTS (Hardy Heron), Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty Jackalope).
I’ll add templates with three versions of PLD Linux soon and then try to prepare more templates (Gentoo, Arch, OpenSuse) but can’t promise anything. All systems are available in i386/i686 and x86_64 versions.
Is PLD vserver package updated with these templates?
Those aren’t templates to use within package. Those are pre-built vserver guests to use with “-m template” build method.
