i have downloaded the CentOS distribution that comes with Xen Cloud
Platform (XCP) at http://www.xen.org/download/xcp/index.html. i am
trying to install the parted utility.

yum install parted

however, i get the following message.

Loaded plugins: fastestmirror
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
Setting up Install Process
No package parted available.
Nothing to do

any ideas on what's going on?
