=== Building OpenVZ kernels and kernel modules ===
Let's consider, how to build <tt>2.6.18</tt> OpenVZ kernel RPM package with squashfs support.
First download and install OpenVZ source RPM:
<pre>
# wget http://download.openvz.org/kernel/branches/2.6.18/028stab033.1/kernel-2.6.18-ovz028stab033.1.src.rpm
# rpm -ivh kernel-2.6.18-ovz028stab033.1.src.rpm
</pre>
<tt>squashfs</tt> sources content the patch against <tt>2.6.18</tt>. Let's copy this patch to RPM build directory:
<pre>
# cp squashfs3.2-r2/kernel-patches/linux-2.6.18/squashfs3.2-patch /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES/
</pre>
Now we need to modify the spec-file in order to add patch to build process. Below is the changes you should add in diff-based format:

Building the RPM:

If everything goes ok, then you will have a ready rpm kernel:
