Hi !

i use suse9 - both on host and inside uml.

btw: there is a new howto (User Mode Linux with SuSE 9.0) from gerd knorr at:
http://www.suse.de/~kraxel/uml/howto.html
he has also some stuff (scripts/kernels) inside his download-dir.
http://www.suse.de/~kraxel/uml/

btw: chip, can i attach your bugreport to the SF bugtracker ?

regards
roland

ps:
i find it somewhat non-intuitive to get from http://user-mode-linux.sourceforge.net 
to the sourceforge uml-pages , i.e.
bugtracker, patchtracker, mailinglist archive are somewhat hard to find, especially for the newbie.

would others find it useful, too , if we had an additional grey "sourceforge-link-box" on the left, 
with direct links to the most important sourceforge "goodies" ? mhhh - on the other hand - it`s getting too
full on the left then....
