These are root file-systems suited for running UML.



Thanks for the offered mirrors

      (www.coherenthosting.com, uml.almahdi.cc, faztek.dnsalias.org)

The main site (moreira.dnsalias.net) has not all root file-systems.

fs_deb3B_2.ex2.README

::::::::::::::

fs_deb3B is a very small root file-system

(this version is fs_deb3B_2),

based on Debian Woody and on busybox (1.0-pre7).



It has a lot of standard daemons, including sshd, tftp, ...,

and I personally use it for quickly starting UML

on my Pentium-II development server...



The static IP address configured is

	192.168.0.147

but can be easily changed via

	senv if 23.23.23.147

or any other ip.



penv/xenv display persistent attributes.



The command line

	linux ubd0=... if=24.24.24.147

gives quickly another ip on UML startup.

(when you want to start a lot of UMLs on your host without

 bothering with configurations.)



Note: dpkg/apt is not included.

This is intended to be a very small root file-system.

fs_umlslackroot_0.ex2.README

::::::::::::::

This is the 'umlslackroot_0' root file-system, suited for UML:

	a slightly modified zipslack, originally from Slackware, to fit UML.

	(zipslack is based on Slackware 3.1)



Original credits to:

	Patrick Volkerding <volkerdi@slackware.com>



Package sources are all available at:

	ftp://ftp.slackware.com/pub/slackware/slackware/source/

Please respect GPL agreements, and read

	ftp://ftp.slackware.com/pub/slackware/slackware/COPYRIGHT.TXT

Patrick Volkerding has agreed the name of this root file-system.





Original packages and contents were kept, except:

     *	shadowconfig off (non secure - you can turn it on)



     *  rc.ttys is invoked from rc.S, to enable tty's, having devfs=mount

	(default invoking UML)



     *	Minor adaptations made on the initial scripts, some of them

	moved into /root/OLD. Changes are marked with 'Moreira'.



     *	securetty was relaxed (non secure)

	The idea is to bring the UML connectivity as easy as possible.



     *	Network is configured by default with a static IP: 192.168.0.147



     *	It contains sshd 3.7.1p1, compiled for Freesco 3.0.x, from

	http://www.freescosoft.com/home/html/FREESCO/packages/v0.3.x/

	opensshd_---_dingetje.htm

Example of a command line to run UML:

    TAP=eth0=tuntap,tap0,,192.168.0.254

    umid=zip ubd0=fs_umlslackroot_0.ex2 mem=32M $TAP con=null con0=fd:1,fd:0



Root file-system size:

	total size=90M

	df=87M   73M   9.5M

	# size, used, available

	bz2=30M



Enjoy UML and umlslackroot!

::::::::::::::

rootfs_rh90_3.tar.README

::::::::::::::

This is the 'rh90_3' root file-system, suited for UML:

	a slightly modified RedHat 9.0, originally from (c)RedHat.com, to fit UML.



Original credits to (c)RedHat.com: Red Hat Linux release 9 (Shrike)



A lot of RPMs were installed, including:

	X-clients (xosview, ...)

	mysql

	apache

	squid

	webmin

	usermin



A complete list can be found on the file:

	rootfs_rh90_3.rpm.lst



A complete list of changes can be found on the file:

	rootfs_rh90_3-cvs.tar.gz





Original packages and contents were kept, except:

     *	'cad' (ctrlaltdel) shuts down UML

	You can easily change that back to original editing one line

	of /etc/inittab

		ca::ctrlaltdel:/sbin/shutdown -t3 -h now

	=>to=>

		ca::ctrlaltdel:/sbin/shutdown -t3 -r now



     *  /etc/rc.sysinit was changed, because 7 tty's appeared by

	default, and obviously this is not so handy.



     *	/etc/default/rcS was added, to make configurable some startup

	vars, that by default suppress some anyoing warnings

	related to 'hwclock' (not interesting in UML), USB, etc.



     *	When file /opt/uml/depmod_done.lst exists, depmod does not run.

	This is to speed up init.



Root file-system size:

	total size=1200M

	# size, used, available

	tar.bz2=332M



Note: this is a tar file, to make bz2 file even smaller than if using ext2.



*********************************************

INSTRUCTIONS to install this root file-system:

*********************************************

	=> Login as root

	dd if=/dev/zero of=fs_redhat.ex2 bs=1M count=1300

	(you can choose 1400 or 1500 Mb if you want to have extra space)

	mount fs_redhat.ex2 /mnt/test -o loop

	cd /mnt/test

	tar xvfj rootfs_rh90_3.tar.bz2

	=> IMPORTANT, these directories must be created

	mkdir var/run

	mkdir var/log var/log/httpd

	=> Now, let's unmount loop...

	cd /

	umount /mnt/test





Enjoy UML and RedHat!
