'kvm' is a package containing both. That helps a lot; maybe that info could go up on the bugs or faq page. I couldn't find it (that is, there is info that there are kernel and user space components, but not how these relate to the tar files). > > In general the best place to start is with the distro provided packages. > My distro (Debian) is only at 85, even in unstable. Since it wasn't current, and also the dependencies will have wide effects on my system (which I'm trying to keep at the stable release Lenny), I figured getting the current source and building it myself would be the best move. For other reasons I'm already running a 2.6.30 kernel from Debian, which includes kernel side kvm. So I figure I only need to mess with user space.
