For install testing perhaps this is true. But think bigger Thierry. It would be of great use to service providers and virtual hosting companies. If it were easy to create a UML instance of Mandrake Linux, perhaps you could gain some market share there with service companies selling UMLs to customers instead of having to dedicate hardware to each user. This is coming. Why not put Mandrake at the top of the heap with it. > i find better to : > - add a uml kernel and tools in contribs, > - add needed infrastructure to drakx if not too intrusive or dusty This is a requirement.

For it to look like a regular Mandrake installation, it needs to be bootstrapped on the UML kernel. I don't know that just having a kernel in Contribs will accomplish this. Perhaps Pixel could comment. b. -- Brian J. Murrell
