        ./configure $(CROSS)    --prefix=/usr \
[[Category:Configuration]]
                                --sysconfdir=/etc \
                                --localstatedir=/var \
                                --mandir=/usr/share/man \
                                --infodir=/usr/share/info \
                                --with-initrddir=/etc/vservers/init.d \
                                --with-vrootdir=/var/lib/vservers \
                                --enable-dietlibc
 
 
the util-vserver-basic use:
 
 
        ./configure $(CROSS)    --prefix=/usr/local \
                                --with-initrddir=/usr/local/etc/vservers/init.d \
                                --enable-dietlibc \
                                --with-vrootdir=/vservers
 
 
so choose the '-basic' if you upgrade from source, choose the '-debian' if you upgrade from debian packages.
As allways those packages comes with no warrant other than that we made them for us and provide tehm to the community in hope they help so they work for us on production server so they should be quite safe. Report issue with them on the vserver list if you find any so we can correct them.
 
I use them on several servers without issues on  lenny.
 
 
hope that help the community, thanks to Ben Green for providing the mirror, helping out and making the kernel packages for us all.
 
 
regards,
Ghislain.
AQUEOS.

How to use the Debian Repository
 
First add this line to your /etc/apt/sources.list file:
deb http://repo.psand.net/ lenny main
 
Then run this as root to add the gpg key to apt:
wget -O - http://repo.psand.net/pubkey.txt | sudo apt-key add -
 
Proceed as normal, updateing your sources thus:
apt-get update
 
To have a look for the kernel packages compiled by me one might use:
apt-cache search linux | grep beng
