-xv6 is a re-implementation of Dennis Ritchie's and Ken Thompson's Unix
-Version 6 (v6).  xv6 loosely follows the structure and style of v6,
-but is implemented for a modern RISC-V multiprocessor using ANSI C.
-
-ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
-
-xv6 is inspired by John Lions's Commentary on UNIX 6th Edition (Peer
-to Peer Communications; ISBN: 1-57398-013-7; 1st edition (June 14,
-2000)).  See also https://pdos.csail.mit.edu/6.1810/, which provides
-pointers to on-line resources for v6.

-ERROR REPORTS
-
-Please send errors and suggestions to Frans Kaashoek and Robert Morris
-(kaashoek,rtm@mit.edu).  The main purpose of xv6 is as a teaching
-operating system for MIT's 6.1810, so we are more interested in
-simplifications and clarifications than new features.
-
-BUILDING AND RUNNING XV6
-
-You will need a RISC-V "newlib" tool chain from
-https://github.com/riscv/riscv-gnu-toolchain, and qemu compiled for
-riscv64-softmmu.  Once they are installed, and in your shell
-search path, you can run "make qemu".
