    The user-mode port of 2.3.99-pre8 is available.

    Kernel modules now work. They need to be compiled in the user-mode pool.
    Modules from a native pool won't work. To get modules_install to drop them in
    the right place in your user-mode filesystem, you can do the following:

    build the modules
    mount your user-mode filesystem on mnt at the top level of the pool (with the
    kernel not booted on it)
    run 'make modules_install INSTALL_MOD_PATH=`pwd`/mnt'
    boot the kernel

    I exported just enough symbols to get isofs to run as a module. I'm sure that
    others need to be exported. If you run into any, let me know, and I'll take
    care of them.

    The project's home page is http://user-mode-linux.sourceforge.net
    The project's download page is http://sourceforge.net/project/filelist.php?grou
