[lxc-devel] OpenSUSE seed containers...

[Stéphane Graber]

Thanks,

I've been doing most of the required changes and I should have something
sort-of working later today.

However I've noticed a few things that probably should be fixed:
 - DHCP isn't starting automatically on eth0, I've got to call "dhcpcd eth0"
 - The template doesn't allow you to specify the release or the architecture

The second point is the most important as I usually run the build
environment on the native architecture of the host and then just pass
the right architecture to the template.
