Where do I download a filesystem from? I tried starting from the "Getting started" section on http://user-mode-linux.sourceforge.net/index.html, but the links for the filesystems don't work. Specifically, I'm trying to get the 64-bit one. eric |

Or does UML just use regular filesystems with regular binaries? I was hoping there was a FAQ about this stuff somewhere, but I don't see one from the UML home page, and the UML Wiki isn't working. :( Anyway, I'll try out one of the filesystems on that page. Thanks! eric |

Why do you intend that nagafix filesystems are not regular too? Try them, they are so good! :) > > I was hoping there was a FAQ about this stuff somewhere, but I don't see > one from the UML home page, and the UML Wiki isn't working. :( > Most of the information seems to be not up to date actually.

I wrote some very sketchy notes for myself about how to build your own filesystem on a partition which you can use uml with, which I've attached in case you find them useful. The basic method (which only works on a debian based system) is to use the debian command debootstrap to download and install a linux base system inside the partition you've made, then chroot (rather than uml) into the filesystem to install any more packages you need. hope this helps, andy |

Hello, You can also have UML openwrt8.09.2, ubuntu karmic, debian sid and fedora 12 at: http://cloonix.net/siteweb/index_download.html Openwrt is shipped with an associated software (cloonix_net) ubuntu, karmic, debian and fedora go with the linux_uml_binary to be found at the same place. I suppose that the linux binary associated to the file-systems work without the cloonix-net, but I always use them in association with the rest of the software which makes it easier to manage machines.

Thanks for the suggestions, but they won't be much help for me since I'm stuck without root access in the host OS. Anyway, I'm off to figure out how to get uml linux to run in the background. (or rather, how to attach to the console when doing so, as I imagine I can just redirect stdout and tack an & on the end of the command in the host OS) eric >-----Original Message----- >From: andy baxter [mailto:an...@ea...] >Sent: Tuesday, April 06, 2010 5:04 PM >To: use...@li... >Subject: Re: [uml-user] uml filesystem > >Haszlakiewicz, Eric wrote: >> So, those are all UML filesystems?

The way I have been getting a terminal on the guest machine is by setting up tun/tap networking and using ssh. andy |

Can you use GNU screen to make a 'headless' UML instance?
