[uml-user] ubd0 versus ubda??

the first of what will undoubtedly be numerous newbie-level questions about UML, since i've been perusing the wealth of online docs for UML and, with few exceptions, all of it is either out of date, incomplete, wrong or suffering from broken links. my goal is to document how to start from scr

I'll probably be proved wrong here, but I use ubda as ubd0 (/dev/ubda) and ubdb as swap (/dev/ubdb) (only seems to work as swap) then ubdc etc are more filesystems. Sorry If this doesn't help you, I'm no UML know-it-all. Jay ---

[uml-user] looking for network-ready fedora 8 kernel and root fs

2008-03-04 Thread Robert P. J. Day
as the next step in my UML recipe for fedora, i want to demonstrate how to set up simple networking. and to keep things simple, i'd prefer to use a pre-built kernel and root filesystem -- actually configuring and building those things will come later. so where can i find those two objects?
