yep, quite simple if you have mandriva already
running on the host, a little more efford if
your host distro is different

first build a skeleton guest:
# vserver mandriva build -m skeleton --context 201 --hostname mandriva.test.org --interface eth0:192.168.0.1/24
then save the 'dev' dir ...
# mv /vservers/mandriva/dev /vservers/mandriva/dev.skel
install mandriva ...
# urpmi --root /vservers/mandriva/ basesystem
(answer the questions to your likings)
replace the dev dir (for security)
# rm -rf /vservers/mandriva/dev
# mv /vservers/mandriva/dev.skel /vservers/mandriva/dev
that's it ... if you do not have mandriva/urpmi on
the host, you are better off using kvm/qemu to install
it from a cd/dvd and trim that down to the necessary
parts for the guest (again use a skeleton /dev to make
the guest secure)

get around (i.e. after you figured it :)
