Daniel, Thank you very much. Ah, I was under the impression that libvirtd was required to control any hypervisors (local or remote). I'm purely interested in local access to hypervisors right now. I'm sorry I admit that my next question is not well researched, but I figured it would be a quick answer from someone knowledgeable: Do you know the "./configure" flags off the top of your head to disable libvirtd and only enable VirtualBox drivers?
I'll start giving this a shot as soon as I can. Mitchell On Wed, Sep 8, 2010 at 10:22 AM, Daniel P.
