lguest: document 32-bit and PAE requirements
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Robert noted that we don't actually document that lguest is 32-bit only,
nor that PAE must be off (CONFIG_PAE is now prompted for if HIGHMEM is
set to "off).

/, /` - or, A Young Coder's Illustrated Hypervisor
\\"--\\ http://lguest.ozlabs.org

Lguest is designed to be a minimal 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).
