Folks,

This morning, I downloaded linux-2.6.22-rc2.bz2 and
FedoraCore5-x86-root_fs.bz2 from the user-mode Linux site, unpacked
them, and started up that user-mode Linux kernel on that file system
on my own Linux system.

But when I logged in as root and tried entering 

  mount none /mnt/host -t hostfs

I got the error message 

  mount: unknown filesystem type 'hostfs'

Based on the "Access host files" link on that website, I was expecting
hostfs support to be part of that user-mode Linux kernel.  Am I
missing something?  Do I need to do something else to get hostfs
access?  

I got the same results when I tried this on two Linux boxes, one with
FC4(?) (kernel 2.6.11.7) and another with FC5 (2.6.15-1.2054_FC5).

Thanks for any help you can give...  

Dick
