--y0ulUmNC+osPPQO6 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable I have done it. I can't figure out how to post an article to the site, so I will detail it here. # is root, $ is a normal user. You could do the config file steps as user too if you make a local rootstrap.conf. # apt-get install rootstrap slirp # cd /etc/rootstrap # patch < rootstrap.conf.patch # vim rootstrap.conf $ rootstrap root_fs $ linux The patch is attached to this email. Make sure you have enough disk space. This was done on a debian system; rootstrap is probably debian-specific, but you're welcome to look at the source if debian isn't available. The created system will have a normal debian installation (which you can apt-get on to your heart's content once you figure out how to get network connectivity. That's another issue, but the source to rootstrap along with the UML docs should help). You will need to customize /etc/rootstrap/rootstrap.conf with your own network information. In the case of trouble, read the manpages for rootstrap and the UML docs on the web. * Brent Thomson [Tue, 29 Jul 2003 at 10:43 -0600] <quote> > Here's a chance for somebody to make a little money from your knowledge > of free software.
