I don't have NFS exported from my tablet or anything else AFAIK, and I
don't remember it being part of the install manual or script stuff

http://www.scratchbox.org/documentation/user/scratchbox-0.9.7/usage/transparency.html

There is qemu, and that is there, but I can't find anything to tell me
how that is supposed to work.  Since I'm using arm64 linux, I had to
install manually, but there may be an extra step to get qemu linked as
the emulation method.

I can't find any explanation of exactly how it works (I can infer much
from requiring binfmt_misc, and qemu, but if even one thing is wrong
it won't work and I have no easy means of finding what the cause is).
Is there any way of testing the setup?  Any specific conf file to
check?
