=== Building guests using the debootstrap build method === '''''(applies to Debian, Ubuntu,...)''''' * Build a Debian lenny guest using the ftp.de.debian.org mirror. vserver vserver1 build \ -m debootstrap --[[context]] 42 \ --hostname vserver1.mydomain.com \ --interface eth0:192.168.1.10/24 \ -- -d lenny -m http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian lenny can be replaced by e.g. etch for Debian etch, edgy for Ubuntu edgy, or sid for Debian sid. Anything your debootstrap version can handle will be fine. If you want to build a 32-bit guest on a 64-bit host, append <code>-- --arch i386</code> to the above command line. The same applies to other additional debootstrap options: place them after a second <code>--</code>. Likewise, in case your host architecture does not match one available in Debian by default, add your architecture in the same way. E.g. you might need to add <code>-- --arch amd64</code> to create a 64-bit Debian guest on a Gentoo host. Please note that <code>vserver...pkgmgmt</code> has has no use on Debian guests: package management is internalized by default and cannot be externalized. To externalize package management on Debian vserver guests, you have to create the guest using the <code>newvserver</code> command from the <code>vserver-debiantools</code> Debian package (see the <code>--pkgcache</code> option). Note that newvserver is considered obsolete and only suited for those who want to foot themselves in shoot.
