+A couple of simple steps to get you going:
+
+1. do make (suitable Makefile is in the source dir)
+2. copy over andy's vifinit script to local dir
+3. copy over xenolinux guestos image (NB. image needs to be uncompressed, so
+if the only image you have is image.gz do gunzip image.gz before doing
+anything further)
+4. add executable permissions to newdom and vifint
+5. edit newdom script and change it as it suits you
+
+newdom script takes guestos image file name as first parameter and newdom id
+as second parameter, eg.:
+
+./newdom xenolinux 1
+
+should initiate building of dom1 with the image contained in file named
+xenolinux in local dir.
+
+in general, domain_builder application takes three parameters: requested
+memory in kb, guestos image file name and number of vifs to be created, eg.
+
+./domain_builder 16000 xenolinux 1
+
+would build domX reserving 16MB mem, creating 1 vif and using os image stored
+as xenolinux in local dir.
+
+happy booting!
