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 Setting up Install Process Setting up Repos update 100% |=========================| 951 B 00:00 base 100% |=========================| 1.1 kB 00:00 addons 100% |=========================| 951 B 00:00 extras 100% |=========================| 1.1 kB 00:00 Reading repository metadata in from local files update : ################################################## 178/178 base : ################################################## 1406/1406 extras : ################################################## 33/33 Parsing package install arguments No Match for argument: xen Nothing to do [root at centos ~]# yum search xen Searching Packages: Setting up Repos update 100% |=========================| 951 B 00:00 base 100% |=========================| 1.1 kB 00:00 addons 100% |=========================| 951 B 00:00 extras 100% |=========================| 1.1 kB 00:00 Reading repository metadata in from local files update : ################################################## 178/178 base : ################################################## 1406/1406 extras : ################################################## 33/33 No Matches found Has the xen package been removed from the yum servers?
