Hi all,
i previously had problems with the wrong type of openvz kernel used, i formated my box with suse 10.2 again and i used the following kernel:
http://download.openvz.org/kernel/branches/sles10-2.6.16/027 stab028.3/kernel-ovzpae-2.6.16.60_027stab028.3-0.23.i686.rpm
after installation, i tried creating using a precreated Suse template which is the following :
http://download.openvz.org/template/precreated/opensuse-10-i 386-default.tar.gz
i could create/start the VE now normally though with one prob!
theres no Yum, apt-get,wget in it!
its empty!
i tried downloading rpms through the node to the root file on the ve, and ther rpm -Uhv inside.. but theres a whole lot of dependencies!
i managed to get a few by installing a few packages, but theres a lot more!
is it normal to have a template without such crucial elements?!
or is it some bug! or..!
the reason im asking this, is tht im looking to install mysql,tomcat,java, and another specific rpm tht i wanna work on!
any advice on how to solve this issue would be appreciated:)
thanks for your help so far..

I haven't used SUSE, Novell, nor OpenSUSE as a host node nor have I created containers using those distros... so I'm not sure as to your specifics... but generally speaking...
Many of the pre-created OS Templates are extremely trimmed down to make them small to download and quick to install... and low on resource usage... with less software that requires updating. So, I would think your situation is normal. Just look at the size of the OS Templates you are using and ask... how much software would fit in there... and how does it compare to the install media in size? If it is considerably smaller than the distro's install media, it has been trimmed down.
Most of the OS Templates I have contributed are fairly bloated with software that I like... including yum.
I personally haven't really seen a whole lot of SUSE related OpenVZ activity and encourage you to become more proficient with OpenVZ and create some newer, more complete OS Templates and contribute them.
