SKAS3 Kernel for the host:
	kernel2.4.26skas-8_host.i386.tar.bz2
(awsomely stable)


UML Guest, preferred for 2.4.x:
	uml-linux-2.4.24-3um.tar.gz
(Do not use unstable: uml-linux-2.4.27-1um.tar.gz, based on
 sourceforge UML bad patch: uml-patch-2.4.27-1.bz2)

Host utilities for UML:
	user_mode_linux-2.4.24.1um-3.tar.gz
(I do not know any recent changes)


File-systems:
	pool_h01/
	pool_...

Two forms of file-systems are available:
	x.tar.bz2
(bzip'ed compressed file, containing the root file-system)
	y.ex2.bz
(bzip'ed compressed ext2 file-system partition).

For the first case, you will need to create the file-system using:
	dd if=/dev/zero of=fs.ex2 bs=1024 count=N
(N is the number of K-bytes that will be allocated for the file-system)
	mke2fs -F fs.ex2
Then mount this partition (as root) with the following command:
	mount fs.ex2 /mnt/test -o loop
Then change the local directory to the special loop device /mnt/test
that contains actually an empty ext2 file-system:
	cd /mnt/test
	tar xvfj ~/x.tar.bz2
This last command will extract the compressed file into /mnt/test.
Unmount the file-system
	umount /mnt/test
By now, fs.ex2 contains the complete file-system.


Why are these two forms?
a) x.tar.bz2
b) y.ex2.bz2
(a) compresses better, (b) is easier, because the described steps
are not necessary.





Have fun with UML.
