Yes. Add the XS repositories to your yum sources, and install xs-pkgs
from there (which should pull all the right dependencies). I suspect
it will muck up a few things, such as user accts created for
processes. The kernel might also be missing those specific drivers you
need.

So I can't guarantee it will work.

Hmmm. As you aren't using AAs, you probably don't need ourcustom
kernel. So perhaps install xs-config and then review what xs-pkgs will
pull in - you'll want to install all of that except for the custom
kernel.

cheers,
