Sorry, DDs have not yet packaged anything newer than 2.6.26 that includes the Xen patches. I thought there were also some possible trademark issues with newer Xen releases, so it's possible there's some delay there as well. -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =. bss@iguanasuicide.net ((_/)o o(\_)) ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy `-'(. .)`-' http://iguanasuicide.net/ \_/
