Very cool, this is getting close to be an ISP-level UML toolkit.

Sure there is. Just do it with ssh. ;-)

Clever, if dirty.

I suppose the way for the problem to go away is for UML to come out as part
of a standard stable kernel, and then lean on the distros to provide UML
install compatibility.

Maybe in 2004. :-)

Ah yes, that'd be me having missed something. Thanks. I still believe an FTP
client is a reasonable tool for an internet-connected UML, though.

Ah ha! Okay, I see it now. Thanks. I just originally tried "insmod nfs", and
assumed when it couldn't find it that the modules hadn't been copied in.

This thing just absolutely hovers madly in regal splendor over all those
Windows serfs.
