+KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine) is a full virtualization solution
+for Linux on x86 hardware containing virtualization extensions (Intel VT
+or AMD-V). It consists of a loadable kernel module, kvm.ko, that provides
+the core virtualization infrastructure and a processor specific module,
+kvm-intel.ko or kvm-amd.ko. KVM also requires a modified QEMU although
+work is underway to get the required changes upstream.
+
+Using KVM, one can run multiple virtual machines running unmodified Linux
+or Windows images. Each virtual machine has private virtualized hardware:
+a network card, disk, graphics adapter, etc.
+
+If you'd like to build this for a kernel other than the one you're currently
+running, you can do something like this:
+	KERNELVERSION=2.6.27.15 ./kvm.SlackBuild
+
+This script requires a 'kvm' group to exist before running. The recommended
+GID is 221. You can create it like this:   groupadd -g 221 kvm
+		 
+After installation, add user to kvm group and re-login. Don't forget to load
+kernel module kvm-intel (or kvm-amd if you use AMD processors). 
+
+NOTE: if 2.6.30.* or 2.6.31.* kernels are used uncomment appropriate string
+      in slackbild.
