Welcome to User Mode Linux. It's going to be fun.
11..11.. HHooww iiss UUsseerr MMooddee LLiinnuuxx DDiiffffeerreenntt??
Normally, the Linux Kernel talks straight to your hardware (video
card, keyboard, hard drives, etc), and any programs which run ask the
kernel to operate the hardware, like so:
+-----------+-----------+----+
| Process 1 | Process 2 | ...|
+-----------+-----------+----+
| Linux Kernel |
+----------------------------+
| Hardware |
+----------------------------+
The User Mode Linux Kernel is different; instead of talking to the
hardware, it talks to a `real' Linux kernel (called the `host kernel'
from now on), like any other program. Programs can then run inside
User-Mode Linux as if they were running under a normal kernel, like
so:
+----------------+
| Process 2 | ...|
+-----------+----------------+
| Process 1 | User-Mode Linux|
+----------------------------+
| Linux Kernel |
+----------------------------+
| Hardware |
+----------------------------+

1. If User Mode Linux crashes, your host kernel is still fine.
2. You can run a usermode kernel as a non-root user.
3. You can debug the User Mode Linux like any normal process.
4. You can run gprof (profiling) and gcov (coverage testing).
5. You can play with your kernel without breaking things.
6. You can use it as a sandbox for testing new apps.
7. You can try new development kernels safely.
8. You can run different distributions simultaneously.
9. It's extremely fun.

Compiling the user mode kernel is just like compiling any other
kernel. Let's go through the steps, using 2.4.0-prerelease (current
as of this writing) as an example:
1. Download the latest UML patch from
the download page <http://user-mode-linux.sourceforge.net/dl-
sf.html>
In this example, the file is uml-patch-2.4.0-prerelease.bz2.
2. Download the matching kernel from your favourite kernel mirror,
such as:
ftp://ftp.ca.kernel.org/pub/kernel/v2.4/linux-2.4.0-prerelease.tar.bz2
<ftp://ftp.ca.kernel.org/pub/kernel/v2.4/linux-2.4.0-prerelease.tar.bz2>
.
3. Make a directory and unpack the kernel into it.
host%
mkdir ~/uml
host%
cd ~/uml
host%
tar -xzvf linux-2.4.0-prerelease.tar.bz2
4. Apply the patch using
host%
cd ~/uml/linux
host%
bzcat uml-patch-2.4.0-prerelease.bz2 | patch -p1
5. Run your favorite config; `make xconfig ARCH=um' is the most
convenient. `make config ARCH=um' and 'make menuconfig ARCH=um'
will work as well. The defaults will give you a useful kernel. If
you want to change something, go ahead, it probably won't hurt
anything.
Note: If the host is configured with a 2G/2G address space split
rather than the usual 3G/1G split, then the packaged UML binaries
will not run. They will immediately segfault. See ``UML on 2G/2G
hosts'' for the scoop on running UML on your system.
6. Finish with `make linux ARCH=um': the result is a file called
`linux' in the top directory of your source tree.
Make sure that you don't build this kernel in /usr/src/linux. On some
distributions, /usr/include/asm is a link into this pool. The user-
mode build changes the other end of that link, and things that include
<asm/anything.h> stop compiling.
The sources are also available from cvs at the project's cvs page,
which has directions on getting the sources. You can also browse the
CVS pool from there.
If you get the CVS sources, you will have to check them out into an
