I could sudo apt-get install lxc. The default kernel (aki-5f15f636) didn't support namespaces. Now you can specify kernels at boot, but I'm not sure if there is an easy way to find kernels with specific CONFIG_ options. I'll let you know if I find one with all namespaces and veth+bridge+macvlan enabled, bc that would then give you everything you'd need. -serge Quoting Serge E.
