+Now HelenOS should automatically start building.
 
 '''Note:''' Do not select a different compiler! If you use ''gcc_native'' instead of ''gcc_cross'', it won't work, so please don't ask in the mailing list! Building HelenOS with a native compiler is '''not supported'''!

+== 5. Run it ==
+
+When you get the command line back, there should be an `image.iso` file in the source root directory. If you have Qemu, you should be able to start HelenOS by running
+
+{{{
+qemu -cdrom image.iso
+}}}
+
+there are also some start scripts and configuration files for other emulators in `contrib/conf`.
