+
+Building
+----------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Requirements:
+
+ * livecd-creator (in Fedora the package is called 'livecd-tools')
+ * rpmbuild (in Fedora package rpm-build)
+ * ocaml, ocaml-findlib, ocaml-extlib, ocaml-pcre, ocaml-xml-light,
+   ocaml-newt, ocaml-libvirt, ocaml-fileutils, ocaml-gettext,
+   ocaml-gettext-devel (all in Fedora)
+ * qemu and/or KVM (only for testing)
+
+Then:
+
+	./configure --help
+	./configure
+	make
+
+Then:
+
+	make rpm	builds the virt-p2v RPM
+	make build	(AS ROOT) builds an ISO image
+	     		called virt-p2v-$VERSION.iso
+
+Other useful commands:
+
+        make man        Build manual page
+        make pxe	Make a PXE-boot image in tftpboot/ subdirectory
+
+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
