+You can run guestfish, guestmount and the virt tools without needing
+to install, using the "run" script in the top directory. This script
+sets up some environment variables. For example:
+
+ ./run ./fish/guestfish [usual guestfish args ...]
+
+ ./run ./inspector/virt-inspector [usual virt-inspector args ...]
+
+If you are already in the fish/ subdirectory, then the following
+command will also work:
+
+ ../run ./guestfish [...]
+
+You can also make a symlink (note: NOT a hard link) from your $PATH to
+the run script, eg:
+
+ cd ~/bin
+ ln -s ~/libguestfs/run libguestfs-run
+ cd ~/libguestfs
+ libguestfs-run ./inspector/virt-inspector [...]
+
+You can also run the C programs under valgrind like this:
+
+ ./run valgrind [valgrind opts...] ./cat/virt-cat [virt-cat opts...]
+
+This also works with sudo (eg. if you need root access for libvirt or
+to access a block device):
+
+ sudo ./run ./cat/virt-cat -d LinuxGuest /etc/passwd

+qemu
+----------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+By far the most common problem is with broken or incompatible
+qemu releases.
+
+Different versions of qemu have problems booting the appliance for
+different reasons. This varies between versions of qemu, and Linux
+distributions which add their own patches.
+
+If you find a problem, you could try using your own qemu built from
+source (qemu is very easy to build from source), with a 'qemu
+wrapper'. Qemu wrappers are described in the guestfs(3) manpage.
