RE: [Xen-ia64-devel] [FYI] Recipe of Booting up the latest Xen

["Tian, Kevin" <kevin.tian@xxxxxxxxx>]

I remembered that several people ever cried for same request and some others 
also threw out good receipts like following. Then... is it possible to record 
such receipts in the repository, to avoid future duplicated post on same 
puzzle? :-)

Thanks,
Kevin
