Your lguest readme is quite lacking in the area of how to configure a guest kernel as opposed to the host kernel. More hand-holding, please. Maybe it's obvious once I've actually applied the patch and run menuconfig, but I'm loathe to attempt anything that isn't a cake walk at my current loadavg, especially given the fits of blind rage trying to do anything nontrivial with Xen tends to provoke in me. -- Mathematics is the supreme nostalgia of our time.
