+
+
+Binaries
+----------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Binaries are available from the website (live CD images which can be
+burned directly to a CD and booted on the p2v candidate machine).
+
+       http://et.redhat.com/~rjones/virt-p2v/download.html
+
+
+Usage
+----------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Please read the manual page:
+
+       man virt-p2v
+or     make man; nroff -man virt-p2v.1 | less
+or     http://et.redhat.com/~rjones/virt-p2v/virt-p2v.1.html
+
+
+Building
+----------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Requirements:
+
+ * livecd-creator (on Fedora the package is 'livecd-tools')
+ * ocaml, ocaml-extlib, ocaml-pcre, ocaml-xml-light (all in Fedora)
+ * qemu and/or KVM (only for testing)
+
+Then:
+
+       ./configure && make
+
+As root, 'make build' will build an ISO image called
+'virt-p2v-$VERSION.iso'.
+
+Burn the image on to a CD using standard tools.
+
+
+Testing
+----------------------------------------------------------------------

+If you want to test the live CD without actually P2V-ing a real
+server, then you can run the ISO directly in qemu.  (To do any sort of
+realistic testing you will also need an operating system image,
+eg. from /var/lib/xen/images, to experiment with).  For example:
 
+  cp /var/lib/xen/images/rhel5gax32fv.img .
+  make boot HDA=rhel5gax32fv.img
