(In reply to comment #0) > From http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/vps/vserver-howto.xml : > "Then use the vserver-new script to create the initial guest." The howto is a bit outdated, the script got integrated with the 0.30.212 release. It's now being used as `vserver $name build`.
Here's the new commands for the docs then: vserver gentoo-template build --context 1000 --hostname gen too --interface eth0:$IP_ADDRESS --initstyle plain -m template -- -t $path-to-stage3 -d gentoo vserver gentoo-template build --context 1000 --hostname gen too --interface eth0:10.0.0.101 --initstyle plain -m template -- -t /vservers/gentoo-template-amd64-20070110.tar.bz2 -d gentoo Thanks for the great work!
documentation has been updated for 0.30.212
