Setting up a Swap File |
||||
|
---------------------- |
||||
|
|
||||
|
1. run make_swapfile in this directory: |
||||
|
|
||||
|
. make_swapfile |
||||
|
|
||||
|
|
||||
|
Getting X working |
||||
|
----------------- |
||||
|
|
||||
|
1. To get X11 working you will need to get your network up. The instructions |
||||
|
below assume your host (the computer you are running) has an ip of 192.168.1.4, |
||||
|
a uml ip of 192.168.1.2 and a tap device ip of 192.168.1.5. |
||||
|
|
||||
|
2. If you haven't already done this, you will want to edit the |
||||
|
/etc/network/interfaces file using vi. This should be self-explanatory. |
||||
|
|
||||
|
3. Load any modules required by your host system. If you decide to use |
||||
|
tap, do this: |
||||
|
|
||||
|
modprobe ethertap |
||||
|
modprobe netlink_dev |
||||
|
|
||||
|
4. Configure the device on your host system. Here the tap device is being |
||||
|
set to 192.168.1.5 and then routed to the host 192.168.1.4: |
||||
|
|
||||
|
ifconfig tap0 192.168.1.5 |
||||
|
route add -host 192.168.1.4 gw 192.168.1.5 |
||||
|
|
||||
|
5. The next time you start the uml kernel and boot the root_fs you will want |
||||
|
to give it options like this where HWaddr (see ifconfig) belongs to your |
||||
|
network device: |
||||
|
|
||||
|
ubd0=/root_fs_debian_x11 root=/dev/ubd0 eth0=ethertap,tap0,HWaddr,192.168.1.5 mem=64M |
||||
|
|
||||
|
Hint: An easier way to do this would be to use the UML box in gbootroot from |
||||
|
your host computer. No .. uml doesn't work within uml. :) |
||||
|
|
||||
|
6. At this point you should be able to ping 192.168.1.4. |
||||
|
|
||||
|
Hint: Check to make sure that uml_net came bundled with the uml kernel, |
||||
|
because this is what enables networking. |
||||
|
|
||||
|
6. Run startx. It will ask for your host ip number. |
||||
|
|
||||
|
That's it. |

Hints: |
||||
|
Mount the host fs: mount -t hostfs none /mnt |
||||
|
mount -t hostfs none -o /home /mnt |
