 You sound like the perfect candidate, then, since the next step for UML in

 kernel-package now includes support for UML, so the old way of packaging it
 is obsolete.

*cautiously*  =)

Okay, then, what should I be trying to do, and in which Debian
environment?  I have only a Debian/sarge system at present, without the
resources to create an unstable system, at least for a little while.

Hi Matt,

I've been trying to look into the viability of running User Mode Linux
on a Debian/sarge system, but it doesn't seem to be possible to do so in
the Debian native way with these serious bugs open and preventing the
UML kernel patch from making its way even into testing.

I don't think I'm actually capable of helping with these bugs: my skills
with the kernel pretty much end with 'make-kpkg ...', but if there is
some room for ordinary folks to help out, please let me know.

Still, my question is: is UML going to be viable in Debian, or are there
technical issues that really make it too hard?  I'm also curious about
trying Xen but Adam Heath has filed bugs against it keeping it out of
testing as well ...

Andrew.
