Looking at http://linuxmint.com/rel_isadora_whatsnew.php, "What's new in
Linux Mint 9 Isadora?", I can see, it's based on ubuntu 10.04 with a
relatively current kernel (2.6.32), which should have a recent kvm on
it.
So, I'd recommend to you to follow instructions at
http://www.linux-kvm.org/page/HOWTO1 to set up the vm. Download the
fedora 15 iso from
http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/15/Live/i686/Fedora-15-i686-Live-Desktop.iso.
After installation of fedora 15, don't forget to do a Software update
with their update manager. That should give you the latest evolution
3.0.3.

Hope that helps.
