This will also prove useful for the previous message I sent on this topic (adding yum update to the %post section). I just did it this morning at work (we have lots of internets there) and I got a full CentOS 5.3 system installed and running in Xen in a matter of 10 minutes or so. If you wanted to use the installation dvd served via FTP that will also work but unless you want the full repository on your system, tell yum update to take care of the work for you. Just be careful, if you don't have a lot of monthly network bandwidth allowed, this will definitely get rid of it in a hurry. My 60GB at home gets mighty low when I bring up new VMs and testing setups. Hope this helps! Tait
