Hello, I am attempting to setup several Damn Small Linux (DSL) instances to run within a DSL host. I am successful in launching and running instances (guests) of DSL, but I cannot bring an Ethernet interface up on the guest.
My procedure follows: 1) Download current.iso from one of DSL's mirrors (this was not more than a week ago - I don't have an exact date), 2) Install this to a spare machine via hd-install script, 3) Download DSL from Antoine Martin's page (http://uml.nagafix.co.uk/): http://uml.nagafix.co.uk/DSL-2.2/ 4) Unpack, then copy this to the system running DSL, 5) Run this command-line in the host DSL to start UML: ./linux-2.6.19-rc5 ubda=DSL-2.2-root_fs mem=128M eth0=ethertap,tap0,,10.11.12.13 6) Receive the following output (ends with "END OF UML OUTPUT") (I ran this script to trim shell control characters: cat output.txt | sed 's/^[[^m]*m//g' | sed 's/^H//g' > out2.txt ): Checking that ptrace can change system call numbers...OK Checking syscall emulation patch for ptrace...missing Checking for tmpfs mount on /dev/shm...nothing mounted on /dev/shm Checking PROT_EXEC mmap in /tmp/...OK Checking if syscall restart handling in host can be skipped...OK Checking for the skas3 patch in the host: - /proc/mm...not found - PTRACE_FAULTINFO...not found - PTRACE_LDT...not found UML running in SKAS0 mode Linux version 2.6.19-rc5 ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) (gcc version 4.1.1 20060525 (Red Hat 4.1.1-1)) #24 Wed Nov 8 12:05:48 EST 2006 Built 1 zonelists.

END OF UML OUTPUT 7) I'm not sure how to approach this - download gcc and recompile a new kernel for DSL? Is there a much simpler way to approach this - I feel like I am missing something...
