I haven't built my own UML system yet, just used a preexisting one (for hosting). Now I'm now trying to patch my WhiteBox 2.4.21 kernel for UML, and I'm stuck. The 2.4.21 patch doesn't apply cleanly, and after some fixes, I'm lost in looking for the missing definition of 'task_struct' (if only there were a 'grep' for C code) I think I'll put this off until I have a kernel 2.6 system running. -- Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Official Website: http://plug.linux.org.ph Searchable Archives: http://marc.free.net.ph .
