Bug Description

Hi

README suggests:
sudo qemu-system-arm -M versatilepb -kernel ./vmlinuz-2.6.28-versatile -hda arm-rootfs.img -m 256 -append "root=/dev/sda mem=256M ro"

but sudo isn't needed and is probably useless for most people; it only helps when using kqemu which only helps when running a x86/x86-64 vm on x86/x86-64. Also it's probably best to suggest adding the running user to the relevant group instead.

Bye

But these aren't used on the suggested command-line; either change the documentation to use "networked bridges and tun/tap devices" or to not use sudo then,
