HI Tom.

I clearly don't have the experience to properly do this, and currently 
my test machine has a lot of extra software installed which I don't even 
know if I need it / want it. The server will run cPanel, so I need to 
have an absolute bare bones system.
Needless to say, I don't know what exactly to give you. The snippets of 
forum / mailing lists posts I have read so far have given me some stuff 
to work with, but nothing concrete and step-by-step. I also don't have 
the bandwidth to download every suggested package and try it out just to 
see it's not working. Nor do I have endless hours at hand to learn all 
of this. I'm not a developer / programmer, so I don't even know how to 
debug the stuff I do. Having run rpmbuild --rebuild --target x86_64 
xen-3.2.0-0xs.centos5.src.rpm* -* I don't know where what is, and I 
don't see a modified rpm. I know enough about rpm files and how to use 
them, but not how to make them.
I basically need an easy way to deploy XEN server, without having to 
compile tarball files, and without having to rebuild a src.rpm on every 
machine. So, a pre-build rpm would be nice, then I can just include it 
on the installation CD and install when needed
