[Xen-users] A few things to add in the doc

[Jean-Baptiste Rouquier <jrouquie@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

A few remarks about documentation that I had to solve by googling. It 
would save time to future users (or experts answering on the list) if it 
were in the doc.
packages needed on a brand new Kubuntu install (should be the same on 
Debian):
 The packages the doc says it need
 libcurl3-dev #instead of libcurl2-dev
 initrd-tools #to run mkinitrd -o /boot/initrd-2.6.16-xen.img 2.6.16-xen
#to compile from sources, add:
 #the packages the doc mentions : libvncserver-dev make python-dev
 libsdl1.2-dev # provides sdl
 bcc bin86 #provides dev86
 libjpeg62-dev transfig # not mentioned in the doc, but abort 
compilation if missing
 tetex-extra

(sadly not yet on http://tx.downloads.xensource.com/downloads/docs/user/)
example.vtx is now replaced by example.hvm. Took me a while to figure 
out why example.vtx was missing !
The depmod && mkinitrd stuff currently at the end of the readme should 
be moved or copied to the end of the binary install section. Users 
trying binary install don't read the source install section.
Could somebody with access to the sources (or at least access to the 
wiki) add it ? Or who should I send this mail to ?
Thanks for this great piece of software,
Jean-Baptiste Rouquier
PS : I'm not on the list, please add a copy to me when replying.
