openvz help?! anyone?!

i formated my box with suse 10.2 and installed the latest openvz kernel for suse, as well as a precreated template.

i could create/start the VE now normaly though with one prob!

theres no Yum, apt-get,wget in it!
its empty!
i tried downloading rpms through the node to the root file on the ve, and then rpm -Uhv inside.. but theres a whole lot of dependencies!
i managed to get a few by installing a few packages, but theres a lot more!

is it normal to have a template without such crucial elements?!
or is it some bug! or..!

any advice on how to solve this issue would be appreciated:)
