FYI: vserver v35 build --force -n v35 --hostname 35.1.168.192.ativel.com --context 35 --interface eth0:192.168.1.35/24 -m debootstrap -- -d squeeze Could not find local version of 'debootstrap'; downloading it from http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/d/debootstrap/debootstrap_1.0.26_all.deb... http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/d/debootstrap/debootstrap_1.0.26_all.deb: 2011-05-15 13:28:39 ERROR 404: Not Found. ERROR: Could not download the debootstrap package from http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/d/debootstrap/debootstrap_1.0.26_all.deb Usually, this means that Debian released a new version which is unknown to util-vserver and removed the known ones. To fix this, go to http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/d/debootstrap/ (or a nearby mirror) and search the URL for the most recent *.deb package matching your platform. Then, put this URL into /etc/vservers/.defaults/apps/debootstrap/uri and retry the vserver-build command again. > The Squeeze kernels from Debians own repository look good and the utils > look pretty good, though I'm using the 2.6.36 > (linux-image-vserver-2.6.36-beng) as the whole cgroups thing is more > mature there, and the newer util-vserver has many many bug fixes and the > like.
