This manual is written for internal and external Palacios developers. It contains information on how to obtain the Palacios code base, how to go about the development process, and how to commit those changes to the mainline source tree. This assumes that the reader has read the technical report An Introduction to the Palacios Virtual Machine Monitor - Release 1.01 and also has a slight working knowledge of git. You will also want to read the document Building a bootable guest image for Palacios and Kitten in order to understand how to build an extremely lightweight guest environment, suitable for testing. If you want to configure network booting for testing on real hardware, you'll want to read the document Booting Palacios/Kitten Over the Network Using PXE.
Please note that Palacios and Kitten are under rapid development, hence this manual may very well be out of date!
