<div>Hi</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I am following the instructions on Openvz website for installing openvz on ubuntu 7.10 which is a Debian based system. </div>
<div>However, at the 'aptitude install ' step I get the error msg 'ovzkernel-2.6.9 not found'.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Any help is appreciated</div>
<div>Thanks</div>

<p>Add to your "/etc/apt/sources.list" </p><pre> deb <a href="http://debian.systs.org/debian">http://debian.systs.org/debian</a> sarge openvz
</pre>
<p>and get the new package lists </p><pre># apt-get update

<p>The kernel-images on <a href="http://debian.systs.org">debian.systs.org</a> (dso) use the same kernel-config taken from OpenVZ. (most kernel-modules are built-in!) </p>
<p>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).
