Thanks Chris

Can you comment on some breakages in the startup scripts when using 
baselayout-2 in the host system.  I get the following error on bootup:

/usr/lib/util-vserver/functions: line 778: `pkgmgmt.guessStyle': not a 
valid identifier

I haven't debugged further yet, but I believe this is because there has 
been some changes to the shell, but I can't immediately see why this 
isn't working... (/bin/sh is still a symlink to bash..?)

Where to log a bug?  What's the simplest way to temporarily workaround 
this?  Grateful for any pointers

Cheers

Yes I'm successfully using gentoo vservers with baselayout-2. Apart from
some cosmetic startup error messages, it seems to work fine.
