Jacques, Thanks for the sanity check. In retrospect, it makes sense, but it would have been nice if the UML folks had this little fact documented a bit more clearly. Perhaps it was and I just missed it. Are there plans for an updated Bering-UML or will that be after rc4 is released.

Eric: There is indeed a link between the version of uml_utilities and the version of the UML patch you are using. New functionnalities added by more recent version of UML need recent version of uml_utilities. This is not clearly documented in the UML web site and I should also made that point clearer in my doc. The trick is to find when the UML patch you are using was released and find the closest release of uml_utilities The UML patch list is here: http://user-mode-linux.sourceforge.net/dl-2.4-patches-sf.html For example patch 45 was released July 25th The uml_utilities releases are here: http://user-mode-linux.sourceforge.net/dl-tools-sf.html >From this list it appears that you should use the 20020721 version. More recent version might work as well. No guarantee... Also a very important point is to start your virtual machine with xterm and nothing else (aterm, xrvt and the many variant that are existing). So xterm must be installed on your host. Hope that help. But it's true that UML can sometime be a bit tricky...
