My steps to install a FS guest on vserver.

vserver host

# preflight checklist for guest: /etc/network/interfaces dnsmasq:/etc/hosts ip

# set these accordingly
export guest=fshead
export guest_dist=etch
export guest_mirror=ftp://mirrors.xmission.com/debian/

# hint: grep ^iface /etc/network/interfaces

# my shortcuts
export guest_if=eth0:$(grep ^iface\ eth0: /etc/network/interfaces | tr ':' ' ' | awk '{print $3}' | sort -n | tail -n 1)
export guest_ip=$(grep -A 10 ${guest_if} /etc/network/interfaces | perl -ne'print "$1\n" if /^\s*address ([0-9.]+)/' | head -n 1)
export guest_cidr= Net::CIDR anyone? :)

# yours
export guest_if=
export guest_ip=
export guest_cidr=

# debootstrap+vserver guest install
vserver $guest build -m debootstrap -- -d ${guest_dist} -m ${guest_mirror}
cd /etc/vservers/${guest}/
echo ${guest} > uts/nodename

# network setup
mkdir interfaces/0
cd interfaces/0
echo ${guest_if} > dev
echo ${guest_ip} > ip
echo ${guest_cidr} > prefix

guest_vdir=$(readlink /etc/vservers/${guest}/vdir)

echo "deb http://security.debian.org/ etch/updates main contrib non-free
deb "${guest_mirror}" etch main contrib non-free" > ${guest_vdir}/etc/apt/sources.list.d/${guest_dist}.list

echo "deb http://420.am/~ivan/freeside-"${guest_dist}"/ ./" > ${guest_vdir}/etc/apt/sources.list.d/freeside.list

# dnsmasq:
echo -e "echo "${guest_ip}"\t"${guest}'>> /etc/hosts && /etc/init.d/dnsmasq restart'

vserver ${guest} start
vserver ${guest} enter

Guest Steps

export LANG=C
aptitude update
aptitude upgrade

# Stuff I install
aptitude install vim less strace ssh screen

# now's a good time to configure ssh to listen on ${guest_ip} (per vserver caveat), change/disable passwords and copy ssh keys.
# Afterwards, log out of the vserver guest, and login via ssh.

  2. echo export LANG=C >> /etc/environ
