At some point it occurred to me that the simplest way might be to 'de-usermode' my UML. Long story (very) short: transfer the filesystem to the target host/partition (loop mount the slink image, tar up contents, untar on target) put a (non-uml) kernel on target partition arrange for the bootloader to recognize the above (I'm using grub) edit /etc/fstab on target, to reflect the new situation edit /etc/inittab on target, to get 'real' terminals (for keyboard/monitor) boot. For convenience I've added: /etc/init.d/ifconf-eth0 #!/bin/sh ifconfig eth0 10.1.1.111 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 10.1.1.255 symlinked from /etc/rcS.d/S40ifconf-eth0 and installed sshd (unpacked an sshd.lrp, moved files to the proper places) in order to get network access. It looks like it's working, so I thought I'd share in case anyone's interested. /Jon -- YMMV ------------------------------------------------------- The SF.Net email is sponsored by: Beat the post-holiday blues Get a FREE limited edition SourceForge.net t-shirt from ThinkGeek.
