Re: About dogtail on x86 and ppc64

[Elena Zannoni <ezannoni at redhat dot com>]

Wu, thanks for starting looking at this.  Len is using dogtail
successfully on x86 for testing of Frysk, so I suspect something in
your setup.  On ppc64, Len was going to try it today, but since that
platform is more of an unknown, I am cc-ing Zack directly as well. But
in general I think Len can offer you some pointers on how to set
things up.
