+* On x86 you should be able to launch any program by using the
+libraries installed on your PC. For example:
+
+    ./qemu -L / /bin/ls
+
+* On non x86 CPUs, you need first to download at least an x86 glibc
+(qemu-XXX-i386-glibc21.tar.gz on the qemu web page). Ensure that
+LD_LIBRARY_PATH is not set:
+
+    unset LD_LIBRARY_PATH 
+
+Then you can launch the precompiled 'ls' x86 executable:
+
+    ./qemu /usr/local/qemu-i386/bin/ls-i386
+
+You can look at /usr/local/qemu-i386/bin/qemu-conf.sh so that QEMU is
+automatically launched by the Linux kernel when you try to launch x86
+executables.
