Thank You for Your time and answer, Tzafrir:

Huh? why would you do that? Just use the debootstrap method.

Yes, it uses remote server. How I can do all the stuff being out of Internet?
It can be a remote source. And it works well.

Great, how I can do it being out of Internet?


I usually do it as follows.

newvserver --hostname www --domain mydomain.com --ip 192.168.0.5/24 --dist lenny --mirror http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/ --interface dummy0

but THIS IS NOT the recommended way but i still do it because i'm still stuck in old habbits. THE RECOMENDED way is decribed in the Vserver wiki http://linux-vserver.org/Building_Guest_Systems

with the --mirror or -m you can specify the source where youre packages should come, i always use the network but using an install CD or DVD or local archive for this works perfectly fine as well. Can't remember from the top of my head wath the exact ---mirror /dev/cdrom/debian or something should be but i guess thats easy to find out after a few tries.


p.s.

Vserver has a great, active and positive mailing list that i can recommend
