 ERROR REPORTS
 
-If you spot errors or have suggestions for improvement, please send email to
-Frans Kaashoek and Robert Morris (kaashoek,rtm@csail.mit.edu).  If you have
-suggestions for improvements, please keep in mind that the main purpose of xv6
-is as a teaching operating system for MIT's 6.828. For example, we are in
-particular interested in simplifications and clarifications, instead of
-suggestions for new systems calls, more portability, etc.

 BUILDING AND RUNNING XV6
 
-To build xv6 on an x86 ELF machine (like Linux or FreeBSD), run "make".
-On non-x86 or non-ELF machines (like OS X, even on x86), you will
-need to install a cross-compiler gcc suite capable of producing x86 ELF
-binaries.  See http://pdos.csail.mit.edu/6.828/2016/tools.html.
-Then run "make TOOLPREFIX=i386-jos-elf-".
-
-To run xv6, install the QEMU PC simulators.  To run in QEMU, run "make qemu".
-
-To create a typeset version of the code, run "make xv6.pdf".  This
-requires the "mpage" utility.  See http://www.mesa.nl/pub/mpage/.
