  12 WHAT'S INCLUDED (AND NOT)
  13 -------------------------
  14
  15 The basic source release includes these subdirectories:
  16  - m5:
  17    - src: source code of the m5 simulator
  18    - tests: regression tests
  19    - ext: less-common external packages needed to build m5
  20    - system/alpha: source for Alpha console and PALcode
  21
  22 To run full-system simulations, you will need compiled console,
  23 PALcode, and kernel binaries and one or more disk images.  These files
  24 are collected in a separate archive, m5_system_2.0.tar.bz2.  This file
  25 can he downloaded separately from Sourceforge.
  26
  27 M5 supports Linux 2.4/2.6, FreeBSD, and the proprietary Compaq/HP
  28 Tru64 version of Unix. We are able to distribute Linux and FreeBSD
  29 bootdisks, but we are unable to distribute bootable disk images of
  30 Tru64 Unix. If you have a Tru64 license and are interested in
  31 obtaining disk images, contact us at m5-dev@eecs.umich.edu.
