+ /,    /`      - or, A Young Coder's Illustrated Hypervisor
+ \\"--\\    http://lguest.ozlabs.org
+
+Lguest is designed to be a minimal 32-bit x86 hypervisor for the Linux kernel,
+for Linux developers and users to experiment with virtualization with the
+minimum of complexity.  Nonetheless, it should have sufficient features to
+make it useful for specific tasks, and, of course, you are encouraged to fork
+and enhance it (see drivers/lguest/README).
+
+Features:
+
+- Kernel module which runs in a normal kernel.
+- Simple I/O model for communication.
+- Simple program to create new guests.
+- Logo contains cute puppies: http://lguest.ozlabs.org
+
+Developer features:
+
+- Fun to hack on.
+- No ABI: being tied to a specific kernel anyway, you can change anything.
+- Many opportunities for improvement or feature implementation.
+
+Running Lguest:
+
+- The easiest way to run lguest is to use same kernel as guest and host.
+  You can configure them differently, but usually it's easiest not to.
+
+  You will need to configure your kernel with the following options:
+
+  "General setup":
+     "Prompt for development and/or incomplete code/drivers" = Y
+        (CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL=y)
+
+  "Processor type and features":
+     "Paravirtualized guest support" = Y
+        "Lguest guest support" = Y
+     "High Memory Support" = off/4GB
+     "Alignment value to which kernel should be aligned" = 0x100000
+        (CONFIG_PARAVIRT=y, CONFIG_LGUEST_GUEST=y, CONFIG_HIGHMEM64G=n and
+         CONFIG_PHYSICAL_ALIGN=0x100000)
+
+  "Device Drivers":
+     "Block devices"
+        "Virtio block driver (EXPERIMENTAL)" = M/Y
+     "Network device support"
+        "Universal TUN/TAP device driver support" = M/Y
+        "Virtio network driver (EXPERIMENTAL)" = M/Y
+           (CONFIG_VIRTIO_BLK=m, CONFIG_VIRTIO_NET=m and CONFIG_TUN=m)
+
+  "Virtualization"
+     "Linux hypervisor example code" = M/Y
+        (CONFIG_LGUEST=m)
+
+- A tool called "lguest" is available in this directory: type "make"
+  to build it.  If you didn't build your kernel in-tree, use "make
+  O=<builddir>".
+
+- Create or find a root disk image.  There are several useful ones
+  around, such as the xm-test tiny root image at
+	  http://xm-test.xensource.com/ramdisks/initrd-1.1-i386.img
+
+  For more serious work, I usually use a distribution ISO image and
+  install it under qemu, then make multiple copies:
+
+	  dd if=/dev/zero of=rootfile bs=1M count=2048
+	  qemu -cdrom image.iso -hda rootfile -net user -net nic -boot d
+
+  Make sure that you install a getty on /dev/hvc0 if you want to log in on the
+  console!
+
+- "modprobe lg" if you built it as a module.
+
+- Run an lguest as root:
+
+      Documentation/virtual/lguest/lguest 64 vmlinux --tunnet=192.168.19.1 \
+        --block=rootfile root=/dev/vda
+
+   Explanation:
+    64: the amount of memory to use, in MB.
+
+    vmlinux: the kernel image found in the top of your build directory.  You
+       can also use a standard bzImage.
+
+    --tunnet=192.168.19.1: configures a "tap" device for networking with this
+       IP address.
+
+    --block=rootfile: a file or block device which becomes /dev/vda
+       inside the guest.
+
+    root=/dev/vda: this (and anything else on the command line) are
+       kernel boot parameters.
+
+- Configuring networking.  I usually have the host masquerade, using
+  "iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE" and "echo 1 >
+  /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward".  In this example, I would configure
+  eth0 inside the guest at 192.168.19.2.
+
+  Another method is to bridge the tap device to an external interface
+  using --tunnet=bridge:<bridgename>, and perhaps run dhcp on the guest
+  to obtain an IP address.  The bridge needs to be configured first:
+  this option simply adds the tap interface to it.
+
+  A simple example on my system:
+
+    ifconfig eth0 0.0.0.0
+    brctl addbr lg0
+    ifconfig lg0 up
+    brctl addif lg0 eth0
+    dhclient lg0
+
+  Then use --tunnet=bridge:lg0 when launching the guest.
+
+  See:
+  
+    http://www.linuxfoundation.org/collaborate/workgroups/networking/bridge
+    
+  for general information on how to get bridging to work.
+
+- Random number generation. Using the --rng option will provide a
+  /dev/hwrng in the guest that will read from the host's /dev/random.
+  Use this option in conjunction with rng-tools (see ../hw_random.txt)
+  to provide entropy to the guest kernel's /dev/random.
+
+There is a helpful mailing list at http://ozlabs.org/mailman/listinfo/lguest
+
+Good luck!
