The user-mode port of 2.4.13 is available.

defconfig and the packaged kernels are built with CONFIG_PACKET so that
tcpdump works.

Profiled modules can now be loaded without undefined symbols.

Fixed a segfault on startup caused by an early unexpected malloc in a
profiling UML.

The network backends are now able to cleanly print the commands that
uml_net runs and their output.

Physical memory protection is now optional and is controlled by the 'jail'
switch until I figure out how to accomplish memory protection with x86
segments rather than mprotect. Clues are gratefully accepted, as I've played
with modify_ldt and have been unenlightened by the results.

UML now respects the TMP/TMPDIR/TEMPDIR environment variables.

The project's home page is http://user-mode-linux.sourceforge.net
