okay, i got a look at
http://www.obsidian.com.au/vserver/mini-debian-vservers-016.txt

1) CHANGE the root password
        Why not use passwd -l on root, so one has to enter through "vserver
<name> enter"
        aka, locking the rootpassword, thus NOONE will end up with a default
root pwd.
2) since this is a debian... why not have it as a .deb as well ? ;-D
3) i know woody comes out soon, but it's still not the official stable
:/
4) note to 1) i can see you do the enter way. Did you lock the password
or not ?
5) would you care to comment more on the MAKEDEV thingy ?

http://www.obsidian.com.au/vserver/mini-debian-vservers-016.tgz

1) 85M, not bad
2) /bin/mount is installed, but one cant mount filesystems...
3) /boot exists, could be removed
4) /etc/rcS.d - contains scripts that one cant execute anyway.
        like modutils, checkfs, mountall, mountnfs, ...

It's not so much to save space i want stuff to be removed, but to get a
better
overview of the install.

My base is
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 27M Mar 31 19:07 base.tar.bz2
And unpacked it's
87M base
Damn, you beat me :/
I'm sorry, but i cant publish it yet, as i havent changed the passwd ;-D
I run the getty at tty7, and just one

one
you start a vserver from. Likewise with shutdown :/)
