    * [[http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/vserver-howto.xml|Gentoo Linux-VServer Howto]] you'll need this if you want to setup Gentoo guest vserver 
  
  
  ===== Installing Vserver host on PLD Linux =====
- Build and install the kernel: 
  
- <file>$ ./builder -bb kernel.spec
+ vserver support is included in PLD Linux main kernels, so you can just install kernel package
+ 
+ <file>
  # poldek -u kernel
  </file>
  
+ or alternatively, a longterm stable kernel:
+ <file>
+ # poldek -u kernel-longterm
+ </file>
  
  ===== Installing guest PLD Linux Vserver =====
  
  
  ==== Preparing userspace tools ====
- First, install the tools: 
  
- <file># poldek -u util-vserver
+ First, install the tools:
+ <file>
+ # poldek -u util-vserver
  </file>
- Then configure //poldek.conf//: 
  
- <file># vim /etc/vservers/.distributions/pld-XX/poldek/repos.d/pld.conf
- </file>
- Where XX is: ac, ti, th 
+ If you need to review poldek repo sources, then the configs are in
+ ''/etc/vservers/.distributions/pld-*/poldek/''
+ where ''*'' can be ''ac'' or ''th'' depending which guest you wish to install.
  
  At this point you should have booted into vserver-enabled kernel. You must start ''vprocunhide'' or none of your Vservers can start. 
  
  To start ''vprocunhide'': 
  
- <file># /sbin/service vprocunhide start
+ <file>
+ # /sbin/service vprocunhide start
  </file>
  
+ ==== Guest creation ====
  
- ==== Actual guest creation ====
- Build the guest system: 
+ Build the guest system. 
  
- <file># vserver test build --context <num> -m poldek -n test
+ <file>
+ # a guest name (not hostname)
+ NAME=test
+ # <num> must be a number within 2-32767 range. 
+ CTX=2
+ 
+ vserver $NAME build --context $CTX -m poldek -n $NAME
  </file>
- <num> must be a number within 2-32767 range. 
  
- There are two versions of PLD available for guest systems: 
+ This defaults installing guest same ARCH and VERSION that your host is.
  
+ If you need to use another combination, then there are two versions of PLD available for guest systems: 
  
    * pld-ac - [[:AcInfo|PLD 2.0 (Ac)]] 
-   * pld-th - [[:ThInfo|PLD 3.0 (Th)]] 
+   * pld-th - [[:ThInfo|PLD 3.0 (Th)]]
+ 
  You may choose one using ''-d'' option: 
  
  
+ <file>
+ DIST=pld-th
  
- <file># vserver test build --context <num> -m poldek -n test -- -d pld-th
+ vserver $NAME build --context $CTX -m poldek -n $NAME  -- -d $DIST
  </file>
+ 
  using ''util-vserver >= 0.30.214-2'' from ac-updates, ''util-vserver >= 0.30.215-2'' from from th you can build other arch or distro or using own mirror: 
  
- <file># vserver test build --context <num> -m poldek -n test -- -m http://ftp.pld-linux.org/dists/ac
- # vserver test build --context <num> -m poldek -n test --personality linux_32bit --machine i686 -- -d pld-th
+ <file>
+ MIRROR=http://ftp.pld-linux.org/dists/ac
+ 
+ vserver $NAME build --context $CTX -m poldek -n $NAME -- -m $MIRROR
  </file>
+ 
+ To build 32bit guest on 64bit host:
+ <file>
+ vserver $NAME build --context $CTX -m poldek -n $NAME --personality linux_32bit --machine i686 -- -d $DIST
+ </file>
+ 
  To build vserver from template (archive containing whole filesystem): 
  
- <file># vserver test build --context <num> -m template -n test -- -t image.tar.bz2
+ <file>
+ # vserver $NAME build --context $CTX -m template -n $NAME -- -t image.tar.bz2
  </file>
  To see other ''build'' command options: 
  
- <file># vserver test build --help
+ <file>
+ # vserver test build --help
  </file>
+ 
  Install ''rc-scripts'' to the new system using ''vpoldek'': 
  
- <file># vpoldek test -- -u rc-scripts
+ <file>
+ # vpoldek test -- -u rc-scripts
  </file>
+ 
  you should consider installing ''vserver-packages'' rpm package to satisfy packages dependency which have no use inside vserver. 
  
  And then start the guest system: 
  
- <file># vserver test start
+ <file>
+ # vserver test start
  </file>
+ 
  To enter that vserver, type: 
  
- <file># vserver test enter
+ <file>
+ # vserver test enter
  </file>
- Note, however, that if you don't run //plain// init style you must have at least one daemon running inside your guest vserver or it will be shut down shortly.
