+## stage1-xen Fedora Buildroot
+
+stage1-xen build artifacts for Fedora is built in two phases. In the first 
phase
+a docker container is prepared with all the build dependencies. We refer to it
+as `stage1-xen-fedora-buildroot`. In the next phase we execute the `run` script
+that uses `stage1-xen-fedora-buildroot` and to produce the build artifacts.
+
+### Building `stage1-xen-fedora-buildroot`
+
+`stage1-xen-fedora-buildroot` has a external dependency
+on [`binutils`](https://github.com/lambda-linux-fedora/binutils) package that 
is
+compiled with `i386pe` support. You can download the pre-built RPMs
+from [here](https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B_tTbuxmuRzIR05wQ3E1eWVyaGs).
+Please download `binutils-2.26.1-1.1.fc25.tar`.
+
+To build docker image
+
+```
+cd stage1-xen/build/fedora
+
+docker build -f buildroot-Dockerfile -t stage1-xen-fedora-buildroot .
+```
+
+### Running `stage1-xen-fedora-buildroot`
+
+```
+cd stage1-xen
+
+docker run --rm \
+  -v `pwd`:/root/gopath/src/github.com/rkt/stage1-xen \
+  -v /tmp:/tmp \
+  -t -i stage1-xen-fedora-buildroot \
+  /sbin/my_init -- /root/bin/run
+```
+
+The generated build artifacts are in `/tmp` directory.
+
+To debug build issues -
+
+```
+cd stage1-xen
+
+docker run --rm \
+  -v `pwd`:/root/gopath/src/github.com/rkt/stage1-xen \
+  -v /tmp:/tmp \
+  -t -i stage1-xen-fedora-buildroot \
+  /sbin/my_init -- /bin/bash
+```
+
+Also see section on `ipdb` in `buildroot-Dockerfile`.
