Has anyone got any experience with User mode Linux, I have ths as an option on my suse box if i install the uml kernel. Now that I have fixed windows 98 to see only the first 512 mb of 768mb (option in msconfig / advanced), I have more memory to play with. As the kernel file name is different will this replace my current kernel install or replace it and leave the other one there so I have a choice (or can create one) on the boot menu, I think i changed my boot loader to lilo Thanks for any help
Paul, A UML kernel isn't used in the normal sense -ie you don't boot it from lilo (or grub or whatever) when you start your machine. I run a debian uml within my Gentoo machine and it works pretty well. I followed the instructions on http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/uml.xml - well sort of anyway.http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/uml.xml The important things to remember are a) you need the usermode-utilities and b) you need tuntap in your running kernel (either compiled in or a module) in order to have networking capabilities in your uml. By running kernel I mean the one that your boot your actual machine with. A good place to start for using UML is http://user-mode-linux.sourceforge.net/ HTH Jon -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG Mail majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxx with "unsubscribe list" in the message body to unsubscribe.
