= Installing OpenVZ on Fedora 11 =

The command `yum install vzkernel` will fail because the stable 2.6.18 OpenVZ kernel is too old. You can run with the experimental kernel instead.

 # Setup the openvz.repo as normal (see [Quickstart])
 # edit the `/etc/yum/repos.d/openvz.repo` file and add these lines: 
   {{{
[openvz-kernel-2.6.27]
name=OpenVZ 2.6.18 kernel
#baseurl=http://download.openvz.org/kernel/branches/2.6.27/current
mirrorlist=http://download.openvz.org/kernel/mirrors-2.6.27
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=http://download.openvz.org/RPM-GPG-Key-OpenVZ
   }}}
 # change the `[openvz-kernel-rhel5]` section to `enabled=0`
 # the 2.6.27 kernel is older than Fedora 11's 2.6.29 kernel, so you need to force the install using this yum plugin:
   {{{
yum install yum-allowdowngrade
   }}}
 # finally, you may install the kernel and utilities
   {{{
yum install vzkernel --allow-downgrade
yum install vzctl
   }}}
 # don't forget to edit `/etc/grub.conf` and give the kernel a sensible name, such as "OpenVZ"
