how were you trying to build using the template? (i presume those images
are templates.) what was the exact command and what was the coresponding
exact output?

proper? yeah, it's a bit mystic (and why i have everything i need
documented in a personal wiki).
vserver dontcare build --help
(and when i say "dontcare", i mean it: that spot usually requires the name
of a vserver, but when you pass the build command the --help argument, it
doesn't matter.)
> how can i build the image using vserver
try: vserver <vserver> build -m template --context <ctx> --hostname
<vserver> --interface <if>:<ip>/24 -- -t centos-5-i686-2007-07-14.tar.bz2
-d centos5
you need to replace all keywords within brackets with the appropriate
information (eg <vserver> => test, <if> => eth0, <ip> => 192.168.0.1). no,
the vserver name and hostname don't have to be the same as in my example,
but that's the way i do it to keep things simple.
disclaimer: that example is based on how i build debian guests on a debian
host and i don't use templates (though i probably should, but i find the
debootstrap method easy enough and straight forward).
