Hello, Steve, Thank you for your suggestion! Our plan is to use m5sim in an assignment. We want to minimize the effort for students to use m5sim. We hope students can use 5msim on the server, so that they do not need to install linux or virtual machine on their own computer. However, editing the disk image is difficult for non root user. Although non root user can use VirtualBox to do the job, I do not have root privilege to install VirtualBox on the server at the first place. Therefore, I think the own choice is to let every student install Linux or virtual machine on their own computer.
