My goal is to set up a couple of kiosk-computers to be used in some public environments.. I'd like to have one host/guest per computer.. directing the end user to the guest system on boot. I do not want to use CHROOT due to security issues, and these computers are obsolete - none of them have VT processors, so KVM is not an option in this case. I've tried the same setup with OpenVZ, but without a lot of troubles, so I switched to Vserver It seems that all other hardware is working inside the container..even the sound. > you probably need to copy any devices the userspace > driver part (from xorg) uses when setting up the > graphics card into the guest Where should these devices be located in the filesystem?
