Re: [Xen-devel] implementing a classic Xen front/back pv driver pair to provide a transport for 9P FS Protocol

[Linda <lindaj@xxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Konrad.

I came close to doing your suggestions on git, and got it, sort of, to 
work.  I will follow your instructions exactly for updates.
There were also, some problems with the way the smtp server needed to be 
set up (compounded by typos of course), which are all fixed.
As far as your answer to my build problems, I'm not sure what this will do:

One way to help with that is if you do:

make 1>&2 2>log

And attach the log.

I am semi-new to the linux world - is this to allow someone else to help 
me?  What does the make command above do?
Thanks, again.

Linda
