Hi

I am following the instructions on Openvz website for installing openvz on
ubuntu 7.10 which is a Debian based system.
However, at the 'aptitude install ' step I get the error msg '
ovzkernel-2.6.9 not found'.

Any help is appreciated
Thanks
Amba


Add to your "/etc/apt/sources.list"

 deb http://debian.systs.org/debian sarge openvz

and get the new package lists

# apt-get update

] precompiled kernel images at debian.systs.org (dso)

The kernel-images on debian.systs.org (dso) use the same kernel-config taken
from OpenVZ. (most kernel-modules are built-in!)

If there is more than one CPU available (or a CPU with hyperthreading), use
the kernel-smp deb. If there is more than 4 Gb of RAM available, use the
kernel-enterprise deb. Otherwise, use the plain kernel deb (kernel).
