Right, I have the same problem. And that's probabily because if you take a
look at /usr/lib/util-vserver/distributions/ you will see that the highest
Fedora Core distribution there is f9. Each distribution has a separate
directory, and since directory for f10 is missing there I guess there is
no way to build f10 guest unless there is a way to add this distribution
manually somehow. And that would also be true for other distributions as
well. Where can we possible find these other distributions that we could
manually add?
