I believe his point is regardless of util-vserver version, if you dont have corresponding directory for fc10 (or any other) in your /usr/lib/util-vserver/distributions you wont' be able to build such a guest. All three of us use pretty much the same util-vserver version, the only difference is util-vserver for CentOS included only distributions up to f9 while Mandriva had f10 and f11 on the top of that. Could we just copy f10/ and f11/ directories from your Mandriva to our CentOS, would it work? > > best, > Herbert > >> \\||/ >> Rod >> -- >> > >> >>Can I build fedora core 10 using other methods except for yum >> >>(like debootstrap) or template? >> > >> >sure, but I doubt anybody has created a >> >debootstrap archive for f10 (yet), rpm and >> >template, as well as rsync or clone should >> >work fine ... >> > >> >>Also does --context option specifies minimum number of packages >> >>and what does 42 stand for in this case? >> > >> >nope, the context is the unique identifier >> >for a guest, i.e. a number between 2 and >> >49151 (or 65535) which uniquely identifies >> >the guest for all kernel related actions >> > >> >>I left out this option building centos5 system (same as above >> >>but it worked fine unlike fc10) but I had no outside internet >> >>connection. >> > >> >you can omit that option, in which case >> >util-vserver will choose a host local unique >> >number for you >> > >> >>I could only connect to local network machines, and I coudn't >> >>find /etc/resolv.conf file either? >> > >> >again, sure your util-vserver is recent enough? >> > >> >>Does leaving out --context 42 option has to do anything with this? >> > >> >very unlikely, see above ... >> > >> >>Anyone? >> > >> >best, >> >Herbert >> > >> >>Dzenan >
