Simple:
make a (minimal) directory structure:
/root /tmp /dev /var /proc /bin /sbin /lib /usr/lib ....(whatever)
and copy or link all binaries and libs you want/need.
As a rule off the Thumb:
you probably need everything in /bin /lib ,
parts of /etc /usr/bin /usr/lib /usr/sbin ,
some devicefiles in /dev (null random urandom) ,
/tmp with chomd 1777
as for everything else, you will findout whenever you need any extra's.
Need apache? ok:
find out what libs apache (httpd) needs with i.e. ldd
/usr/local/httpd/bin/httpd
and put those libs into your vserver :-)
Check httpd.conf for:
listen xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
and change to YOUR_VSERVER_IP:80
Any questions?
Ok?
