+On some systems, this will work too:
+
+ chmod o+rw /dev/kvm
+
+On some systems, the chmod will not survive a reboot, and you will
+need to make edits to the udev configuration.

+
+Notes on cross-architecture support
+----------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+At the moment we basically don't support cross-architecture or
+32-on-64. This limits what is possible for some guests. Filesystem
+operations and FTP export will work fine, but running commands in
+guests may not be possible.
+
+To enable this requires work for cross-architecture and 32-on-64
+support in febootstrap, fakeroot and fakechroot.
+
+The daemon/ directory contains its own configure script. This is so
+that in future we will be able to cross-compile the daemon.

+
+Mirroring tip
+----------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+On my machines I can usually rebuild the appliance in around 3
+minutes. If it takes much longer for you, use a local Fedora mirror
+or squid.
+
+To use squid to cache yum downloads, read this first:
+https://lists.dulug.duke.edu/pipermail/yum/2006-August/009041.html
+(In brief, because yum chooses random mirrors each time, squid doesn't
+work very well with default yum configuration. To get around this,
+choose a Fedora mirror which is close to you, set this with
+'./configure --with-mirror=[...]', and then proxy the whole lot
+through squid by setting http_proxy environment variable).
+
+You will also need to substantially increase the squid configuration
+limits:

+
+
+Porting to other Linux distros / non-Linux
+----------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+libguestfs itself should be fairly portable to other Linux
+distributions. Non-Linux ports are trickier, but we will accept
+patches if they aren't too invasive.
+
+The main porting issues are with the dependencies needed to build the
+appliance. You will need to find or port the following packages
+first:
+
+ - fakeroot
+ - fakechroot
+ - python
+ - rpm-python http://www.rpm.org/
+ - yum http://yum.baseurl.org/
+ - febootstrap http://et.redhat.com/~rjones/febootstrap/
