[Netkit.users] Migrate the filesystem to Ubuntu

[Olivier Mémin]

These are great resources !

However, as discussed in this email (http://list.dia.uniroma3.it/pipermail/netkit.users/2006-September/000196.html), those filesystems do not contain a partition table, required by Netkit. Therefore they are not directly usable.

Is it possible to add a partition table to these UML images ?
I had a quick look at "fdisk" command but without success to "vstart" anything (with -m option) :
"Kernel panic... Unable to mount root fs on unknown block"

Regards,
Olivier

Talking of your problem with some friends here at the university I
received a cool link:

http://uml.nagafix.co.uk/

there are UML images ready to go of various distro, and you can use
them with Netkit. Maybe this can help quickly :)
