Actually, since you do not run anything inside the temporary VE (777) which requires an IP address, you can omit the step of setting VE's OSTEMPLATE, an IP address and a hostname. This was done for Debian specifically because you have to run <tt>apt update</tt> and <tt>apt upgrade</tt> commands, which requires network to be working. So you can edit that out to simplify things. I have not done it yet because you might have other reasons to leave it. --[[User:Kir|Kir]] 15:43, 6 June 2006 (EDT)

: I have actually removed these settings from the text, since it looks like they are not needed, and you forgot to run <tt>vzctl set --ipdel</tt> so OS template cache ends up with the IP address which is wrong. So I followed the easy path and instead of adding the procedure of removing VE IP I just removed the adding of it! Also note that setting OSTEMPLATE is actually needed for <tt>vzctl set --ipadd</tt> to work. --[[User:Kir|Kir]] 16:15, 6 June 2006 (EDT)
