Oh dear, I didn't see this thread before... Jean Christophe seems to have
the same problem than me a few weeks ago...
I sorry JC, but the only doc a I had time to write is on paper for now...
I'm planning to put it on my wiki (And vservers' one ;)), but I have much
work at the time.

Ok, here is a basic procedure for MAndrake (And other distros):

* First, setup your urpmi sources (Or apt, or... ;)). I personnaly made a
local ftp mirror of the Mdk10.1 tree.

* Download the tools and kernel patch at
http://www.13thfloor.at/vserver/d_rel26/v1.9.4/

* Patch, compile and install your VS kernel.
/!\ Use gcc3.3 /!\ , not the default gcc3.4 !!!
  # urpmi gcc3.3
  # rm /etc/alternatives/gcc
  # ln -s /usr/bin/gcc-3.3.4 /etc/alternatives/gcc

* Install the vserver tools rpms

* reboot ;)

* create your first vserver:
  # vserver test1 build -m skeleton --hostname test1.yourdomain.fr
--interface test1=eth0:172.16.210.30
(use a good IP, hostname, etc... ;))

* urpmi --root /vserver/test1 basesystem
This installs ~100Mb in two passes.

* Alternatively, if you want an already made mdk10.1 image, download one
there: http://nayco.free.fr/wiki/doku.php?id=linux-vserver . To use it:
  # cd /vservers/test1
  # tar xvjf /path/to/linux-vserver-image-basesystem.10.1-1mdk.tar.bz2

* Edit /vserver/test1/etc/resolv.conf and enter your ns parameters

* Take a deep breathe and...
  # vserver test1 start.
  # vps xa
  # vserver-stats
  # vserver test1 enter

* Play !

Hope that helps...
