-Binaries
+Support
 ----------------------------------------------------------------------
 
-Binaries are available from the website (live CD images which can be
-burned directly to a CD and booted on the p2v candidate machine).
+Please send all queries, patches, bug reports etc. to the
+et-mgmt-tools mailing list:

-Building
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
 
-Requirements:
- * livecd-creator (on Fedora the package is 'livecd-tools')
- * qemu (only for testing)
+Binaries
+----------------------------------------------------------------------
 
-(1) Edit Makefile - there is some general configuration at the
-    top which you may want to change.
+Binaries are available from the website (live CD images which can be
+burned directly to a CD and booted on the p2v candidate machine).
 
-(2) 'make build' will build an ISO image called virt-p2v-$VERSION.iso
+       http://et.redhat.com/~rjones/virt-p2v/download.html
 
-(3) Burn the image on to a CD using standard tools.
 
-Booting from USB device
+Usage
 ----------------------------------------------------------------------
 
-If you wish to boot from a USB keydrive, use the livecd-iso-to-disk
-tool:
-
-  livecd-iso-to-disk virt-p2v-$VERSION.iso /dev/sdX1
+Please read the manual page:
 
-(Replace /dev/sdX1 with the actual USB device).
+       man virt-p2v
+or     make man; nroff -man virt-p2v.1 | less
+or     http://et.redhat.com/~rjones/virt-p2v/virt-p2v.1.html
 
-In my experience I also had to set up a suitable MBR:
 
-  cat /usr/lib/syslinux/mbr.bin > /dev/sdX

-Running
+Building
 ----------------------------------------------------------------------
 
-Boot the candidate machine from the live CD or USB keydrive.
-
-You will need to have network access to another machine where it will
-save the virtual disk images.  That machine must have ssh access (sshd
-service running).  Note that the target machine is usually the Xen
-host, but it doesn't need to be: you could copy the images to a
-staging machine, and later copy them over to the Xen host.
+Requirements:
 
-Note that the live CD doesn't modify any data on the candidate
-machine.
+ * 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)
 
-Answer the questions.  There is a tutorial and explanation of some of
-the questions on the website which you may wish to follow:
-http://et.redhat.com/~rjones/virt-p2v/
+Then:
 
-While the live CD is booted a shell is available on other virtual
-consoles.  Go to a virtual console using [ALT] [F2] and log in as root
-with no password.
+	./configure && make
 
-If it works, the result will be a configuration file and disk images
-for each block device (hard disk) from the candidate machine, which
-should boot directly or with the minimum of changes.
+As root, 'make build' will build an ISO image called
+'virt-p2v-$VERSION.iso'.

 realistic testing you will also need an operating system image,
 eg. from /var/lib/xen/images, to experiment with).  For example:
