+to install QEMU in /usr/local/bin
+* On x86 you should be able to launch any program by using the
+libraries installed on your PC. For example:
+
+ ./qemu -L / /bin/ls
+
+* On non x86 CPUs, you need first to download at least an x86 glibc
+(qemu-i386-glibc21.tar.gz on the qemu web page). Then you can launch
+the precompiled 'ls' x86 executable:
+
+ ./qemu /usr/local/qemu-i386/bin/ls
+
+You can look at /usr/local/qemu-i386/bin/qemu-conf.sh so that QEMU is
+automatically launched by the Linux kernel when you try to launch x86
+executables.
