I just saw this unread message. And there is a few things to say about this one. :) Some old instructions in the website do not work. For example, the kernel version used there was not practical for me. And you also said it's too old - although I won't mind that fact alone. > > Basic question: how to shutdown a running UML?

In all the years I have used linux (more than a decade) I always used shutdown to... to turn off the computer (I would say "to shutdown"... but that would be too funny here). Debian has poweroff too.

But I think that UML should be also aimed at users without much knowledge in kernel compilation because sometimes we could just want a virtual and easy, although safe, "root power". The reason why I'm trying to get UML to work right now is one of these cases. -- Balaco -- http://www.fastmail.com - Same, same, but different... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ User-mode-linux-user mailing list User-mode-linux-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/user-mode-linux-user
