vzkernel-devel is optional.
2. Install fakeroot and alien.

3. Convert all the RPMs to debs using alien.
fakeroot alien --to-deb --scripts --keep-version vz*.rpm ploop*.rpm
4. Install debs.
dpkg -i vz*.deb ploop*.deb
If you're having problem about overwriting files from other packages, try adding --force-overwrite option.
5. Modify /boot/grub/menu.lst. See “configuring the bootloader” of Quick installation.
6. Edit /etc/sysctl.conf. See “sysctl” of Quick installation.
7. Make OpenVZ boot automatically.
update-rc.d vz defaults update-rc.d vzeventd defaults
8. Reboot.
reboot
9. Follow the Quick installation from “installing OS template caches”.
10. See also Common Networking HOWTOs.
