And probably other dot-files too: kvm/vgabios/.cvsignore tests/cris/.gdbinit And I just realized that vgabios is in kvm/vgabios as it were in 0.11 and before. In upstream qemu it were moved to roms/vgabios, but see the first item in this email above... ;) And while at it, what about kvm/extboot/ which contains no useful files anymore, with everything moved to pc-bios/optionroms/ ? > Thanks! > > /mjt
