Just go to http://user-mode-linux.sourceforge.net/dl-sf.html and get the UML package user_mode_linux-2.4.19.5um-0.i386.rpm plus a root filesystem, in this case Debian Debian-3.0r0.ext2.bz2 and follow the few instructions to get a running Debian inside your normal Linux. Once you've grown the root fs (it's only 60 MB) and set up network connection, you can apt-get all the compiler stuff an start building root. I have a little page that lists all the Debian package names I found necessary when installing some H1 software in my UML-Debian: http://www-h1.desy.de/~strauch/computing/notebook/development.html Hope this is useful ;-) Cheers, Ingo -- "What're quantum mechanics?"
