Yeah... I figured as much for the system once I got it installed, as I've got 
several actual physical ones I did that to...

OK.. 

I 

sudo cp lxc-ubuntu lxc-oldbuntu

sudo kate lxc-oldbuntu

Chage line 240 to:

    case $2 in
      amd64|i386)
            MIRROR=${MIRROR:-http:/old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu}
            SECURITY_MIRROR=${SECURITY_MIRROR:-http://old-
releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu}
            ;;
      *)

Save it...

Try it again...

$ sudo lxc-create -n mailtest -t oldbuntu -- -r natty
[sudo] password for r0:

r at r$ 

It still is NOT pulling the file from old-realeases for this part..

BUT due to a lucky fubar typo later on in a failed creating it does later pull 
from the source

So something is not using that line for the minimal to start??? 

Other ideas???
