user-mode-linux

Anyone know what RPM do I need to install in order to get UML (user mode Linux) to work under Fedora ? I know that UML code has already been merged into Kernel 2.6, but can't find any further information on what support or benefits it offers, nor steps in putting it up under Fedora (particularly Core 3). Can anyone give me some hints or pointers ?

Thanks,
Raymond.

Hi Alphonsebrown,

Thanks for the reply. I know about the project web site, but still cannot find any info on what's being merged into kernel 2.6. Do you know what facilities are built into the kernel to support user-mode-linux ? What differences are UML for kernel 2.4 and UML for kernel 2.6 ? Can I just recompile a vanilla kernel 2.6 with arch=um to build a UML kernel ?

Regards.
