The changes I made to the daemon yesterday might have saved me ~15 minutes of walking someone through getting it running on #kernelnewbies a couple days ago. And I'm about to have the helper do whatever insmods are necessary as well. I'd like to get the HOWTO on this down to 'eth0=ethertap,blah,blah,blah' on the kernel command line and 'ifconfig eth0 blah blah up' inside UML. Memory and disk are cheap, especially compared to people's time. If you can spend some of the former and save some of the latter, you win. > UML is being examined by folks on sci.crypt and alt.privacy to see if > they can do something with it similar to what the NSA is doing with > VMware and Linux, Interesting, I hadn't heard about this. Do you have pointers to any discussions? Jeff |
