Presently I build kvm hosts with a minimal install and add whatever packages are required to get kvm working and provide my customary administrative tools. The kvm guests get the user applications. I simply want to have a similar arrangement on my personal workstation so that my experiments do not become invisibly dependent upon something I have installed for my own use. Basically, I want to simply leave the host configuration alone once kvm is running and do my mucking about in a virtual machine. -- *** E-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** James B.
