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.

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.
