Thanks Tru and Johnny, one more question. Can I just use the centos5-testing repo, ie, yum enablerepoxxx install kernel-vm? I ask because I tried and while it worked it loaded an older kernel. Should I just go to tru's directory and install the RPM directly? Also, ok more than one question, are the open-vm-tools in the same repo or only found in Johnny's testing directory. Thanks again...
