Thanks Peter and Akemi.
All working. Amazing really. I now have my Centos 5 on the Internet.
I wonder whether it is worth re-installing Cebtos 5 and trying to get
my new driver (.ko file presumably) to load off a USB drive at install
time. Do you think this would be straight forward. Is there anything to
gain?
Richard.

I didn't know about the smarts in the email client.
Thanks also for the info on kernel-devel - but the snag is my centos
system isn't on the Internet because the lan driver is broken...:-). We
seem to have a bootstrap problem...:-). I therefore assume I can't just
"yum" for it. Can you tell me where I can find it for the xen enabled
kernel 2.6.18-8.el5.src?
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
