Hi, <Booting UML is straightforward. Simply run 'linux': it will try to mount the file `root_fs' in the current directory. You do not need to run it as root. If your root filesystem is not named `root_fs', then you need to put a `ubd0=root_fs_whatever' switch on the linux command line. > I don't know the meaning of 'root_fs'. Should I create a file name root_fs? If yes, where? Thanks! Best regards! |

UML assumes its root filesystem is named 'root_fs' in the current directory unless you specify otherwise with a ubdX=... argument. There are premade filesystems and tools for creating new ones on the uml website. -Steve |

If yes, where? The virtual computer you'll start by running "linux" will need one root=20 filesystem. It will be contained inside a file: you need to put on the=20 command line ubd0=3Dits_name; if "its_name" is root_fs, you don't need to=20 specify the parameter. The file containing the root filesystem can be either downloaded(if you hav= e a=20 fast line) on the UML download page or created(but it can be a bit hard); b= ut=20 as first thing, you must read well the UML documentation, and have enough=20 experience with Linux administration.
