Use only Centos-4. Fedora was not tested successpully
This document describes a way to install OpenVZ in a x86_64 computer, so that it can create cache templates, use vzyum and vzrpm.
This is intended to work in a Centos-4 (tested) or a Fedora Core distribution(not tested).
* - A x86_64 computer
* - Centos-4 distribution (or Fedora Core 3, 4 or 5 linux distribution- not tested).
* - Yum package installed.
* This is a fastest way to install openvz utilities, and template utilities, ready to use in a x86_64 system.
* You can only use the automatic install IF YOU HAVE YUM AND RPM PACKAGES INSTALLED IN YOUR SYSTEM, and if you want to install a Centos-4, or Fedora Core (3,4,5) cache template.
* This process uses a bash script that automatizes all the hard work made by hand in the manual install.
* If something goes wrong, or if you want to install a diferent cache template, it's better to do the manual install, and try to adapt it to your needs.
When you run the script, it asks first which OS Template do you want to install: Fedora or Centos.Answer the question Press Enter and enter the letter corresponding to you wish.Let let the script to do all the job for you.
When it finishes with the message "END INSTALL", you can go on reading this document jumping to the undermentioned <b>[[#STEP_10|STEP 10]]</b>.
Now let's tweak the code doing it step by step.
You can do a copy-paste from the next command lines to your system.
The example is using <b>Centos-4</b> distribution(tested), but <b>Fedore Core</b> or other distribution with yum and rpm installed, can may be usedtried, if you change the reference name and version in STEPS 1 to 4(this was not tested).
