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-2.6.18-8.1.6.el5.x86_64.rpm (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 -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
