It's a ~80 meg tarball (half of which is the gcc, binutils, and linux-2.6.11 source tarballs) on a friend's machine, so don't hit the poor server too hard. I intend to move it to a faster connection after I get back from Penguicon... Yeah, I know the versions of most things are out of date, but the build worked when I ran it, and as a proof of concept it shows you what I did. By the way, I've toyed with the idea of running this sucker in an otherwise empty chroot environment (/proc/self/fd is likely to exist and have fairly uninteresting contents. As a chroot environment, it just has symlinks that point to nothing), but to chroot the UML kernel process from inside the initramfs, I need to come up with a new syscall. Can't do it before running the UML kernel because A) it needs to make its memory file, 2) it needs to access /proc/self/exe, III) it needs to loopback mount its executable file to pull the trick I just did. Does a new "chroot UML" syscall sound like a worthwhile idea? Rob ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: New Crystal Reports XI.
