Will tools like virt-install work the same with xen 3.2 as with xen 3.1?

I can't persuade yum to let me uninstall CentOS 5.1's Xen 3.1 without it removing virt-install :-( I don't know if you can install the Citrix / XenSource RPMs alongside the CentOS ones ... ?

Actually, I was mistaken - the version of xen that is available with CentOS 5.1 is 3.0.3:

# rpm -q xen
xen-3.0.3-41.el5.x86_64

How did you get xen 3.1 ?
And he keeps saying it, too. You can confirm whatever it is by looking inside the SRPM for the source code.


CentOS definitely comes with 3.0.3.

Howwver, the 3.1.2 SRPM for Fedora 8 builds and seems to work fine on CentOS 5.1, so I'm now using that.
