I'm using precompiled kernels linked to from user-mode-linux.sf.net, but I don't know what they have in them.
I found a compilation page on the old uml web site. Is this the one you mean: http://user-mode-linux.sourceforge.net/old/compile.html I kind of assumed that stuff on the old website is obsolete. I just noticed that the UML book has a compilation chapter as well but I don't know which one is more relevant. I was going through Chapter 6 dealing with hostfs and humfs, but in order to use them one needs to compile support for them and the book doesn't talk about compilation and where to get the sources until Chapter 11. I would humbly suggest the book to be a bit reorganized for getting more easily into UML.
