Hi, I visited your website http://uml.nagafix.co.uk/ about UML, it's excellent. Everything worked perfectly until the network setup part. UML just couldn't seem to pick up an IP for eth0. I followed exactly the same commands you put on your website. I am using Fedora core 5 Linux release. Here is some relevant information about my host:
