→Creating booted LiveCD root filesystem: some small fixes
You can see, that <tt>ovz-livecd/base/</tt> directory owns several *.mo files - images of squashfs filesystem,
and each image holds one directory of booted LiveCD root filesystem: <tt>bin</tt>, <tt>usr</tt> and so on:
<pre>
# ls -1 ovz-livecd/base
</pre>
Well, having the intruments in hand, why not extract the images? Create a directory, called <tt>livecd-root</tt>,
that will store the root filesystem for '''booted''' LiveCD. I.e. it will content <tt>/bin</tt>, <tt>/sbin</tt>,
<tt>/etc</tt> and other directories, which you will see after booting the LiveCD. Unfortunately <tt>unsquashfs</tt>
tool is not very convenient, and I found only this way to use it:
</pre>
Yet we have nearly complete root filesystem of booted LiveCD in <tt>livecd-root</tt> directory. However some things
are missing, and I guess you know what are they: <tt>/dev</tt>, <tt>/proc</tt>, <tt>/sys</tt>, <tt>/tmp</tt> and <tt>/boot</tt> directories. We need them, because some tools (<tt>rpm</tt>, <tt>bash</tt>,...) will not work without them in chrooted environment later.
<pre>
# mkdir root/dev
Now we can <tt>chroot</tt> in this directory and install all needed packages. But what
packages do we need?
* OpenVZ kernelkernels
* OpenVZ tools: vzctl, vzquota, vzpkg, vzrpm43, vzrpm44, vzyum
* OpenVZ template metadatas: centos-4, fc-3, fc4 and fc-5
