[ron minnich]

in /n/sources/contrib/rminnich/lguest you will see this:
cpu% pwd
/n/sources/contrib/rminnich/lguest
cpu% ls
9.tgz (/sys/src/9 to you)
9lguestcpu.elf
RUNLGUEST
config-2.6.21
grubmenu.lst
initrd-2.6.21.img
l.tgz (kernel source tree for 2.6.21 with my hacks)
lguest
thx9.bz2 (IGNORE THIS)
vmlinuz-2.6.21

Put RUNLGUEST, lguest, 9lguestcpu.elf, somewhere handy. Get the root
file system image from xen somewhere.
Put vmlinuz-2.6.21 and  initrd-2.6.21.img whereever you boot kernels.
Add grubmenu.lst lines to your grub. Boot.

then just sh RUNLGUEST in that handy directory. It should "just work".
If not, send me problems, output, etc.

l.tgz is my hacked up 2.6.21, but most of my mods are just debug and
not needed. 9.tgz is a source tree, the result of this:
#!/bin/rc
bind -bc src/boot src/boot
bind -bc src/ip src/ip
bind -bc src/pc src/pc
bind -bc src/port src/port
bind -a /sys/src/9/pc src/pc
bind -a /sys/src/9/ip src/ip
bind -a /sys/src/9/boot src/boot
bind -a /sys/src/9/port src/port

i.e. I don't really clone the entire source tree, but in case your
source differs from mine, you want the tree I build from too.

Once lguest is up you should be able to drawterm:
drawterm -a 192.168.19.2 -c 192.168.19.2 -u bootes
password is determined by your xen root.

my previous email was susposed to go to ron rather than the list.

I'am sorry if it sounded like I was be-littleing the work to get dillo
running under linuxemu - I would have phrased it better if I had thought
it was going to the list. I meant I understand it is more pain and hassle
researching forign binaries runtime requirments than actually codeing support
for them.
