Xen devel - Jul 2004 - xeno-unstable and gentoo

A couple of notes about getting xen running on gentoo:

the init script should source "/etc/init.d/functions.sh" rather than 
"/etc/init.d/functions"

''last'' is ''/bin/last'' rather than
''/usr/bin/last''

The initscript issue is easy to fix with [-f] to see if either script 
exists before sourcing one or the other, but I''m not familiar enough 
with python to know how to make it check in both places.  (make it do 
''which last'' to find it?)

And at least dom0 is working like a champ on XFS as of a checkout and 
build last night.

I''m taking notes as I go through the process to make a 1.3/2.0 HOWTO.

OK, easily fixed.

The easiest thing to do is just to remove the /usr/bin/ from the
popen, and rely on the path picking it up. It''s always a bit of a
risk but I think we can assume root has a sane path.

HOWTO.
Great -- that''d be really useful.
