Hi. The easiest way to achieve this, from my experience, is to simply boot into the OS you want to create a template of, stop all the software you can, and create a tar file of the entire OS. You now have a precreated template image which you can use on 'vzctl create'. This method will not get you a nice rpm by rpm installation procedure for upgrading a single package later, but just a huge collection of files which make up your OS. Depending on your situation, this may be easier or less convenient. If you need to change the OS template, such as update a package, what I do is deploy it, enter it, update it, stop it, and tar it back up.
