Subjectuser-mode port 0.49-2.4.12
DateSat, 13 Oct 2001 00:35:42 -0500
FromJeff Dike <>
The user-mode port of 2.4.12 is available.

The highlights:

Redid the signal delivery code so that it is possible to write-protect physical
memory from userspace.  This turns out to be expensive, so this version of
UML is noticably slower than previous ones.  Memory protection will be made
optional until I can get some support from the host kernel for doing it
more quickly.

An ancient crash in the console driver has been fixed.  This was easiest to
see when booting a distro, such as SuSE, that doesn't put a getty on the main 
console.

CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB is now available in the configuration.

uml_router is now known as uml_switch.  It now has a -hub option.

The project's home page is http://user-mode-linux.sourceforge.net

Downloads are available at
