USING UML
=========

./linux ubd0=ext3_rh9_img eth0=tuntap,,,192.168.0.xxx

To run UML in only an xterm is a little trickier, try this:
./linux ubd0=./extrh9_img con0=fd:0,fd:1 con=none eth0=tuntap,,,192.168.0.xxx


NETWORK PROBLEMS
================

if you have problems booting 'coz of a network error messages, this is
probably 'coz you've not set up a tun/tap device. Add a single "1" to the
boot command i.e.

./linux ubd0=ext3_rh9_img 1

It'll drop you to a root shell and you can disable the network interface.

change ONBOOT=yes to ONBOOT=no in
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 and them edit
/etc/rc3.d/S99local and remove the "route" line. Typing ^d will exit
the shell.

ROOT PASSWORD
=============

There is a minimal set of users on this system, the most important is
root. The root password on these UML images is "uml123". I strongly
sugest you change it as soon as you boot up.

WHICH KERNEL and FILE SYSTEM
============================

From Jan 2004 I'll lable the image and hte kerlen with a version
number to that you'll know which kernel goes with which
filesystem. This is inportant 'coz you don't want to load up a kernel
with a file system without the coresponding modules :-).

VERSION NUMBERS
===============

linux-"major kernel number"."minor kernel number"."kernel patch number"-"uml patch number"."faye's version number"

i.e.

linux-2.4.23-1.0

The file system that'll work with this kernel will be labled
2.4.23-1.0. There may be other version numbers in the file system name
but these will involve non kernel system changes, like upgrades to
Apache or other packages.

NOTES
=====

linux-2.4.23-2.1.bz2

Use with the Fedora Core 1 and devfs. So you need to pass
'devfs=mount' on the command line when you start UML with this kernel.
Currently Networking it not started at boot. Original Core 1, no
updates applied. mingety in /etc/inittab replace with agetty so devfs
works with init.

linux-2.4.23-1.1.bz2

Changed some kernel compile options to make it easier to boot the RH
and Fedora install images

ext3_rh9_3_img.bz2

Increased file image size to 1.3G to make it easyier to do batch updates

ext3_rh9_2_img.bz2

Tydied up the console on boot.
Default route line removed from /etc/rc3.d/S99local
Change eth0 to not come up by default at boot.
Removed getty on virtual consoles
