Subject: [PATCH 1/4] README: Fix environment setup quick start
Date: Thu,  3 Mar 2022 14:28:01 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220303132804.4151-2-gniebler@suse.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20220303132804.4151-1-gniebler@suse.com>

Following the old quick start information would not get a new user to run
tests with their configuration, because it was not accurate to how the check
script actually works.

By default, the script looks for *.config files in HOST_CONFIG_DIR, which
defaults to '.config' if unset. The README now reflects that.
