On page 31 the instructions say that kvm can be installed via yum by saying "yum install kvm". That's where I got stuck. > Why you are using Centos 5 ? version 6 and 7 are already released? This host is a remote machine, and I will not have physical access to it until next month. While I do plan to scrap it and install C7, I don't feel like attempting to do that remotely. :-) As for guests that should run on that host, I figured that I could create and run them even now, and just back them up when I get to upgrading the host. I wouldn't like to waste a whole month of guests not running, just waiting for the host upgrade. So, is there any possibility to have kvm on C5? Best, :-) Marko
