Ok, this project didn't work as well as I thought. So, I installed an 
"empty" system, without any repositories as well.
I'm going to take a new approach, and install xen, kernel-xen 
virt-manager & virsh via yum and then use that to build up my rpm list 
to work with.

So, which repositories do I need on CentOS 5.1 x64 to install xen?
