Note: Please, be aware that this is beta software. It has been developed and mainly tested over Suse 8.1/8.2/9.0/9.1/9.3/10.0 Linux distribution, although it should work (maybe with minor modifications) over other Linux distributions (successfull tests over Red Hat 7.3/8.0/9.0 and FC4, Slackware 8.1, Mandrake 10.0 and Debian 3.0/3.1/4.0 have been already done). Let us know if you test VNUML over other distributions to include the information here.

VNUML core components

VNUML Package

VNUML releases are hosted at SourceForge. Here is the complete list.

Current stable release is 1.8.1 (25/05/2007).

Current testing release is 1.8.2beta1 (19/07/2007).

UML Kernels

UML kernels are hosted at SourceForge. Here is the complete list.

Current UML kernel is linux-2.6.18.1-bb2-xt-2m (05/07/2007).

Root filesystems

Root Filesystems are hosted at SourceForge. Here is the complete list.

Current root_fs is 0.5.0 (11/07/2006). It is highly encouraged to use the root-fs-installer script instead of the old manual procedure.

The root password for the filesystems is: xxxx

You can also get old releases, but you should use always the newest stable release.

APT installation

If you are using a .deb based distro (like Debian or Ubuntu) you can install VNUML using APT. Just add the following to your sources.list file:

deb http://jungla.dit.upm.es/~vnuml/debian binary/

Testing (beta and release candidate) releases use a different APT repository:

deb http://jungla.dit.upm.es/~vnuml/debian-testing binary/

By the moment, you can install vnuml and the UML kernel using APT (details here.):

 apt-get update
 apt-get install vnuml
 apt-get install linux-um

Additional downloads

Live CD/DVD

VNUML Live CD/DVDs are hosted at SourceForge. Here is the complete list.

Latest version is VNUML Live 2.1 (30/04/2007). You can have a look at the README file.

IMPORTANT NOTE: if you plan to install VNUML-Live-DVD on your hard disk, take into account the user creation known issue described here.

To start VNUML Live DVD from inside VMware, you can use this file.

VNUML Virtual Appliance for VMware

We have created a VMware based virtual appliance starting from VNUML-Live-DVD following the procedure described here.

Latest version is: VNUML Virtual Appliance 2.1. See how to use it

About VNUML versions and numbering

  • VNUML language (in fact the DTD for the VNUML files) is identified by two version numbers, for example, VNUML DTD 1.2.
  • VNUML parser is identified by three version numbers. The first two numbers refers to the VNUML DTD version the parser works with. For example, vnumlparser.pl 1.2.1 works with VNUML DTD 1.2 files.
  • The first public releases were VNUML DTD 1.2 and vnumlparser.pl 1.2.1.
  • Since 1.8.0, odd-ended versions are stable ones and even-ended versions are testing ones (in fact, even-ended versions are always suffixed like in: 1.8.0test1, 1.8.2beta1, 1.8.2rc1, etc.). See this post for details.
