Excuse me if I haven't kept up, but UML is Unified Modeling Language. Correct? I fail to see how a relative of XML and SGML can be helpful in this situation. http://www.uml.org/ http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=UML&btnG=Google+Search Are you possibly referring to User-Mode Linux? That is the only thing that comes close to the discussion at hand. http://user-mode-linux.sourceforge.net/ Not until I found that page did your post make sense.

For _a_ test environment, that's fine. But not for running multiple simultaneous test environments, or giving away root accounts. http://www.bpfh.net/simes/computing/chroot-break.html > To break out of a chroot()ed area, a program should do the following: > > o Create a temporary directory in its current working directory > o Open the current working directory > > Note: only required if chroot() changes the calling program's working > directory. > o Change the root directory of the process to the temporary directory > using chroot(). > o Use fchdir() with the file descriptor of the opened directory to > move the current working directory outside the chroot()ed area. > > Note: only required if chroot() changes the calling program's working > directory. > o Perform chdir("..") calls many times to move the current working > directory into the real root directory. > o Change the root directory of the process to the current working > directory, the real root directory, using chroot(".") -- Garrett Goebel IS Development Specialist ScriptPro Direct: 913.403.5261 5828 Reeds Road Main: 913.384.1008 Mission, KS 66202 Fax: 913.384.2180 www.scriptpro.com garrett at scriptpro dot com

Thank You! Need Ride for tonight's meeting

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi All, ~ Many thanks out to all of you who have helped me and sent your well wishes after the motorcycle crash. I really, really appreciate it. I'm doing a lot better now, and hope to return to work soon. I've gotten a lot of movement back in my arm, but it's going to be quite a while before it's fully healed. It can get very boring and lonely in the hospital, and I appreciate your visits as well. ~ Also, a big thanks to the guys who stepped up and organized our booth at ITEC. ~ I am, currently, unable to drive myself to the meeting tonight, and was wondering if someone would be willing to drive me to tonight's meeting. I live in Liberty, MO. Thank you very, very much, Chris Bier P.S. I will try to have some pictures up soon. - -- I digitally sign my emails.

What people enjoy seems to >put a better perspective of what we do in this world. >Thanks for sharing! -=Duane http://dattaway.org ------------------------------ Linux is a bright spot in the world, no doubt about it! Has anybody tried Linuxbios yet? I read that you have to flash your ROM, but you can get booted in 5 seconds. Of course, with Linux you don't have to reboot much to begin with, unless you have a dual-boot situation. www.linuxbios.org Michael Bailey **************************

Firmware Activism

"Hardware vendors have responded positively to activism on the part of members of the OpenBSD community and developers and either allowed redistribution of specific firmware or else begun a dialogue with developers, the head honcho of the OpenBSD project says." http://www.theage.com.au/articles/2004/10/29/1098992287663.html?oneclick=tr…

by Leo Mauler 02 Nov '04

Using ndiswrapper to make a RealTek 8180 wireless card work properly. Rather than bother with the proprietary drivers for Linux, use this one instead.
