So I'm now looking at setting up a dedicated system for compilation/development. 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.

[leaf-devel] Compile host for Bering? (glibc, gcc, kernel versions etc...)
I have been using UML (debian slink/woody) for my kernel compiles, but never been able to successfully compile userland stuff in either environments. Since upgrading my workstastion to SUSE 9.2 my UML virtual machines won't start, and I'm beginning to tire of the complexity of all that. So I'm now looking at setting up a dedicated system for compilation/development. I have been looking at the Develping and using LEAF in a virtual environment howto at: http://leaf.sourceforge.net/bering/index.php?module=pagemasterPAGE_user_op=view_pagePAGE_id=3MMN_position=3:3 - to try to decide which base system to use. Being basically completely unfamiliar with Debian (and apt in particular), I'm thinking SuSE 7.3 or 8.x should be viable alternatives, as long as I manage to set it up with all the 'correct' versions of everything. Now, the above looks pretty dated, and while I'm aware that the development environment is pretty static, I'd still like to make sure I don't set up something that's completely outdated... So the questions are: Which versions of glibc, gcc, make, (other), should I have in such a system?
