[Users] Re: openvz with VIA C3 processor

[Kir Kolyshkin]

I'd add that you can try to recreate the templates, say, for FC5, by 
explicitly adding .i386 to each line in default.list file (which is in 
template metadata) and running vzpkgcache -f fedora-core-5. That way you 
will force the installation of i386 packages not i686.
