I think, with some limitations a suse vserver can also be created from
an ftp archive. the limitation is that I didn't find a bootstrap for
suse (I didn't deal much with bootstraps so far) so it means there have
to be a few files copied into the vserver dir.
my suse installation scripts also need to install the packages twice,
since aaa_base and ncurses are not installed on the first run (don't ask
me why). this produces more traffic than desired.

yeah right. below this error message there's the correct output of the
filesizes.
