Since UML has been integrated in mainline, it is not any more correct to talk about "UML patch" - that's misleading for people (including Jeff Dike). > I need a detailed decription of both patches, eg. what do they works for, > how, etc... > Could you write for me a detailed description for both of them? > - Why use patches? parse error - what do you mean? What is the alternative to patches? You mean "why don't you run UML on vanilla hosts"? The answer is "we can, but it's slower". > - Why do they work? Sorry, but the answer to this question is because they were coded by competent programmers, and I can't find your real question (I'm not perfect at mind-reading ;-)). > - How do they are connected?

That is possible, and if you point out problems I'll fix what is needed. If anybody having the needed knowledge can post a full summary he'll do it, but I think this will rarely happen - and he should probably write it up on a website for future reference rather than in a mail. -- Inform me of my mistakes, so I can keep imitating Homer Simpson's "Doh!".
