INSTALL

== Notes ==

- to test 64-bit guests, you need a 64-bit host kernel
- for hardware-accelleration (you really want that) you need a modern CPU. check with
grep --color=auto -e vmx -e svm /proc/cpuinfo 
- it is possible to test two isos at the same time by using two different working directories with different env.sh config files. especially the QEMUPORT and VNC values must be unique
