I have been trying to have a working UML for a long time. I have a Fedora Core 2 host. Has anybody a working UML installation (linux+root_fs and shell commands), for this system? Thank you in advance. Javier Navarro |

The kernel I'm using is 2.6.7 from kernel.org with the patches. I suppose I could send you at least the script if you're interested. -- Matt It's not what I know that counts, it's what I can remember in time to use. |

The following works for any RH or FC: Set up 'apt for rpm' on the host, eg. <http://dag.wieers.com/home-made/apt/FAQ.php> <http://freshrpms.net/apt/> Create the root_fs with 'dd' and 'mk*fs', loop-mount it $SOMEWHERE. Then you can populate your root_fs with apt-get -o RPM::RootDir=$SOMEWHERE install $PACKAGELIST (yes, it works on an empty dir). Create or edit the ususal files (fstab, inittab, resolv.conf, hosts, ifcfg-*, ...). In a FC2 guest you have to rename or remove /lib/tls. Umount that root_f /nils. -- there is no sig. |
