Thanks. This is what I did : # ls centos-4-x86.tar.gz fedora-9-i386-minimal.tar.gz centos-5-x86.tar.gz owl-current-20100323-i686.tar.gz
# vzctl create 501 --ostemplate owl-current-20100323-i686 Unable to get full ostemplate name for owl-current-20100323-i686 Creating container private area (owl-current-20100323-i686) Then it hangs for ever. I suspect something to do with the ostemplate name. Could someone shed some light? Googling tells this message can be ignored but I doubt.
