What's new with the kernel:
it's up to 2.3.31
swapping works
memory size and block device configuration has been added
a few more system calls are hooked up
virtual consoles are supported and come up in xterms
I added some missed headers whose lack caused build problems for some people
the patch is located at ftp://user-mode-linux.sourceforge.net/pub/user-mode-li
nux/patch-2.3.31.gz

What else is new:
This is now an official project, with mailing lists, cvs, and everything else
a self-respecting project should have, hosted on sourceforge.net.
Rusty wrote a nice HOWTO (http://www.mv.com/ipusers/karaya/uml/UserModeLinux-H
OWTO.html), and this official project stuff is mostly his doing.
The mailing lists are user-mode-linux-devel@lists.sourceforge.net and
user-mode-linux-user@lists.sourceforge.net; archives and subscription info are
at http://www.sourceforge.net/mail/?group_id=429
The web site has been redone, but because of domain name confusion, it is
still located at http://www.mv.com/ipusers/karaya/uml/index.html.
