LOL....no it doesn't work with me. I changed the name to that but it still shows up as description unknown and I can't create a VM from it as it doesn't show in my list. The reason why I asked what is wrong is because I followed the description of the post and changed the name to <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px; ">centos-5-default_5.5_amd64.tar.gz but it still doesn't work. So, is the format of the syntax wrong?</span><div>

If you look under the "Contributed Templates", there are two 5.5 templates.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">The templates listed for CentOS don't mention the minor version number (e.g. Show only v5 instead v5.1, v5.4, or v5.5). What is with that? Does that mean if CentOS-5-* is updated by "yum -y update" then it would upgrade to CentOS-5.5-*?</p>

You can create your own template from a pre-existing template. You can find some instructions at:<br>

I would also recommend reading about DAB on the Proxmox Wiki. It only creates Debian templates, but it is really nice.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">The templates that are listed/included in current version of Proxmox are from what source? Where can I find a CentOS 5.5? Can I easily make a template of CentOS 5.5 myself without facing trouble (e.g. compatibility, stability, etc...)?</p>
