=== Preparing the base system ===
Run <code>yast2</code> on your openSUSE 10.3 installation (this does not have to be your OpenVZ HN). Proceed with <code>Software->Installation into directory</code> option.
=== Create device nodes ===
I suggest creating all required nodes directly in the <code>\<DIRINSTALL\>/lib/udev/devices/</code>, in that case you don't have to disable udev in startup scripts.
Change directory to <code>\<DIRINSTALL\>/lib/udev/devices/</code> and execute the following commonds:
<pre>
mknod -m 666 full c 1 7
== Disable parallel startup of services ==
Set <code>RUN_PARALLEL</code> variable in <code>\<DIRINSTALL\>/etc/sysconfig/boot</code> to "no".
== Disable boot.klog ==
For some reason, <code>klogd</code> hangs when tries to retrieve kernel log. You need to disable it. Simply delete <code>\<DIRINSTALL\>/etc/rc.d/boot.d/S08boot.klog</code>
== Create OS template ==
Create OS template cache by invoking the following command (from inside <code>\<DIRINSTALL\></code>):
<code>
tar -czf /vz/template/cache/opensuse-10.3-i386-default.tar.gz ./
