You get a UML that can't run. TT mode isn't tracing/debugging stuff. It's a basic mode of UML operation. Also, UML doesn't need the skas patch on the host in order to use skas mode any more. It helps, but is not necessary. Jeff ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc. Do you grep through log files for problems? Stop!
