[sclug] User mode Linux

[Tom Dawes-Gamble]

Hi,

I thought I'd give UML a go after wednesdays chat.

So I have a Red Hat 9 box.

I installed  user_mode_linux-2.4.19.5um-0.i386.rpm  no problems.
downloaded root_fs_toms1.7.205.bz2 and unpacked it and renamed it to
root_fs
then ran

[root at redhat uml]# pwd
/uml
[root at redhat uml]# ll
total 15433

Leon you said it worked out of the box  :-)  Doesn't need any patches
you said.  so what did I do wrong?
