Example for setup VServer on Debian

Get kernel source and vserver patch.

# apt-get install kernel-patch-vserver kernel-source-2.4.27 kernel-package fakeroot

For safety, switch to normal user for building the kernel.

$ cd /usr/src
$ tar vfxj kernel-source-2.4.27.tar.bz2
$ cd kernel-source-2.4.27
$ cp /boot/config-2.4.27-2-686 .config
$ fakeroot make-kpkg --bzimage --initrd --added-patches vserver binary-arch

Install the kernel-image which just built by kernel-package.

# dpkg -i /usr/src/kernel-image-2.4.27_10.00.Custom_i386.deb

Reboot into new kernel.
