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? Presumably I can then download it and transfer it on a usb drive - then use a local "yum" command? Do you know where to find it and how to do the local yum command?
Thanks
Richard.

I have a problem with Centos 5 not detecting my realtek 8111b lan chip on a Gigabyte GA-945GM-S2 motherboard. I have found a reference to a new driver from realtek and/or redhat - which has instructions on building the driver. When I go to "make clean modules" I get errors - and it appears to be looking in /usr/src/kernels/... for source files which I don't seem to have in my centos 5 installation.
Presumably I need to install some kernel source package. If so - where do I find it?
kernel-devel is the package you want (unless the module build thingy is really broken..).
