+Setting up the root filesystem
+-----------------------------
+
+1. Run setup in this directory: 
+
+. setup
+
+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. You don't need to load any modules required by your host system, because
+uml_net will cause the modules to be loaded automatically - assuming your 
+kernel has kmod -  when it automatically configures the tap device interface 
+for ethertap.  But if you want or need to do it manually from your host 
+system, you could do something like this:
+
+ modprobe ethertap
+ modprobe netlink_dev
+ ifconfig tap0 192.168.1.5
+ route add -host 192.168.1.4 gw 192.168.1.5
+
+4. 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
+
+5.  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, and make sure it is setuid root
+(chmod 4755).
+
+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
