[Planetlab-devel] vserver on centos

[Thierry Parmentelat]

Hi Faiyaz

I must admit that I had not spotted that resource when I first googled  
that topic
It definitely sounds simpler than what I've been trying to do  
(basically, use our own build..)

Did this provide you with the description for f8-based vservers, as I  
understand that this has not been released by Daniel yet ? (I mean, / 
usr/lib/util-vserver/distributions/f8 and /etc/vservers/.distributions/ 
f8)

Many thanks -- Thierry
