It's all set up, just create a directory, see the instructions in /space/user-mode-linux on mussel. You'll need to copy the filesystem image to "root_fs" in a directory and then run "linux". Talking on the network is trivial to set up, you'll need to arrange to set this up.

I think that would be a big waste of the time spent compiling everything in there. While we are having problems with compiling new stuff, current binaries seem fine.
