I just installed CentOS 4.1 for the first time - I did a "minimal 
install"...  Now I'm trying to install Xen - according to several online 
resources I should just be able to run `yum install xen`, but yum never 
finds the package - though tcpdump shows http traffic going to 
lists.centos.org:


[root at centos ~]# yum install xen

Has the xen package been removed from the yum servers?  Could somebody 
tell me where I can find it?



Thanks!
