I searched a bit but didn't found what I was looking for. 1. skas: What about including it into the UML-patch. This way there would be only one patch to apply and the source could just be copied to have to trees (one as host, one uml). A nicer solution would be the possibility to create a uml out of the source by using a different config file, but I don't know about conflicts between static drivers and driver modules or uml / host linux. Is there a roadmap for skas4? 2. block devices: A nice feature would be the possibility to use disk dumps as a block device. It would help to test automatic installations or distros which rely on normal filesystems or device. Something like "linux hda=hda-dump" would save some ubdX. My favourite use case would the transfer of my harware linux router/firewall into a uml environment. I could do it with udbS ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email sponsored by: Enterprise Linux Forum Conference & Expo The Event For Linux Datacenter Solutions & Strategies in The Enterprise Linux in the Boardroom; in the Front Office; & in the Server Room http://www.enterpriselinuxforum.com _______________________________________________ User-mode-linux-devel mailing list User-mode-linux-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/user-mode-linux-devel
