From Kristan’s slides I got the idea to create a complex network scenario with user mode linux. So I’ve downloaded the latest 2.4.26 kernel patch and created my first user mode linux environment. I’ve chosen the debian woody filesystem from Matt. I guess that updating it to sarge will be easy. One major problem that I had, was that the kernel always stopped at a certain point and it seemed as if it had crashed. I later found out, that user mode linux opens a virtual console, so you need to grant X access to the user/process. Oh, and if you want to emulate two different clients, you should create two seperate filesystems.

Kind of cool to start linux in linux.
