[leaf-user] Anyone using UML or Xen?

2005-04-20 Thread Calvin Webster

Arne and Eric: Based on your latest info and Eric's note I believe I'll give QEMU a try. I like the simplicity (i.e. qemu -fda Bering-uclibc-2.3beta2.img.bin). I may be picking your brains while I setup the first few machines. Thank you very much. --Cal Webster On Wed, 2005-04-20 at 16:57,
