Thanks Peter and Akemi. I stand suitably chastised for replying to random post. I wont do it again. Maybe this is why I haven't found the list as responsive as it seemed to others... Thanks for the information. I didn't know about the smarts in the email client.
Thanks also for the info on kernel-devel - but the snag is my centos system isn't on the Internet because the lan driver is broken...:-). We seem to have a bootstrap problem...:-). I therefore assume I can't just "yum" for it. Can you tell me where I can find it for the xen enabled kernel 2.6.18-8.el5.src?
No you don't want the source, you want the package: kernel-devel
to be exact: http://mirror.nsc.liu.se/centos/5.0/updates/x86_64/RPMS/kernel-xen-devel-2.6...
(or from another mirror, or an older version if you cant security update, or i386 instead of x86_64 if that's the case ...)
Presumably I can then download it and transfer it on a usb drive - then use a local "yum" command?
The download to usb-stick part sounds ok, but I'm not sure a "yum localinstall .." will work since this still assumes network (just that you have this here local rpm to install). My suggestion, just do "rpm -ivh file.rpm".
Good luck, Peter
