The morning version of the guide is posted at the same link, just refresh your copy. No changes to the baby01.bin file or how to run it. That file is a Linux/x86 system.

That is one of the many things the script does for the user. The baby uses the low-level commands for now, just to expose to the new user what is happening.

And then try using the file extended attributes and file access lists. Maybe I will be able to learn how to protect her from heavy feet in the host. I will be updating the step-by-step as I go, also including anything others mention to me. Thanks very much for your comments Joel.
