UML Kernel

UML allows to run multiple Linux OS at the same time and virtualize everything, including network and routing.

Install this kernel on any Mandrake system to run UML images. This kernel includes both a linux binary and UML kernel modules stored in the usual /lib/modules/ directory. It might be necessary to copy UML kernel modules to the UML image.

VServer + SKAS kernel

Install this kernel if you wish to virtualize your Mandrakelinux server. VServer is the fastest type of virtualization available on Linux. It is perfect for virtualizing everything but network/routing oriented applications. VServer mode requires additional utilities.

SKAS is a kernel patch which allows to accelerate UML.

Installation

Add Nexedi RPMS to your urpmi source and do:

    urpmi.addmedia nexedi http://nexedi.org/static/Mandrake/10.1/RPMS/
    urpmi kernel-uml

List available packges:

    urpmq -y kernel
    urpmq -y vserver

If you install a VServer/SKAS kernel, do not forget to rebuild the initrd. Unlike Mandrake RPMs, this is not done by our simple RPM.
