Looking to get RHEL3 working as a VE, and I believe there are various things 
that would have to be done to accomplish this.

1) Take a rpm 4.2.* src rpm and modify it in the same way as vzrpm43 and 
vzrpm44.
2) Create a new OS template to match the differences in rpm names and services 
enabled.
3) Install the new packages and create a template cache
4) Continue as normal


Right now I'm working on part 1. I've noticed that in the vzrpm4x, for the 
sections that were added to handle building the python support there are 
references to a tool called alternatives. I suspect that this is used to setup 
how the different versions of python are used?

Any ideas on where to get this tool, if it is available? Or what exactly it 
does?

Also would the project be interested in having the results which should provide 
vzrpm42 packages?
