Good suggestion
I want to live with her for another
day or two before I decide what to call her ;)

I have added an abstract, an introduction, and changed the
title.
The morning version of the guide is posted at the same link,
just refresh your copy.
No changes to the baby01.bin file or how to run it.
That file is a Linux/x86 system. It will be awhile before I
can build a hppa-risc version.

That 'vserver' command is a (large) Bash script in front
of the low-level commands.
That is one of the many things the script does for the
user.
The baby uses the low-level commands for now, just
to expose to the new user what is happening.
Also, she can not be started with "vserver refbox start"
without a bunch of complaints from the vserver script.
I will fix that when I get it figured out.

Today's project is to make a clone of her.
And then try using the file extended attributes and
file access lists.
Maybe I will be able to learn how to protect her from
heavy feet in the host.
I will be updating the step-by-step as I go, also including
anything others mention to me.
Thanks very much for your comments Joel.
Mike
