Are there any instructions on installing on RHEL6? I'm using Scientific Linux 6 a RHEL6 clone, due to my GPT disk that make using RHEL5 ... difficult. Very Happy

This is my first time installing OpenVZ, and I'm following the "OpenVZ Users Guide" which is really well done, but a bit dated. A couple of questions come up:

- can I add rhel6 (ugh can't post links!! Mad

) to my yum repo?

- which filesystem: ext4? XFS?

I've installed the kernel:

# rpm -Uhv vzkernel-firmware-2.6.32-042stab016.1.noarch.rpm
Preparing...                ########################################### [100%]
   1:vzkernel-firmware      ########################################### [100%]
# rpm -ihv vzkernel-2.6.32-042stab016.1.x86_64.rpm
Preparing...                ########################################### [100%]
   1:vzkernel               ########################################### [100%]

I'd like to help start a "Install on RHEL6" wiki page. Could someone create a stub for me in the appropriate place?
