Installing Libranet in VMware ?

[Brett I. Holcomb]

Okay, I guess I've been thinking about this wrong then.  I thought that if 
my host was all XFS, and nothing else, that I had to have XFS built into 
the uml.  From what I understand - the host can be XFS while uml can be 
anything, with ext2 being the easiest, if the uml needs anything from the 
host it's transparent.

I may try uml again then.
