I should perhaps explain why you need the port-helper program. Basically it is the utility that allows you to talk to the child system, indeed the uml kernel by default starts xterms that run /usr/lib/uml/port-helper, to provide access to the child's virtual consoles. If the utility isn't there these xterms just drop through to the parent system. So you can start the child system without this utility, but you can't interact with it. now included. |
