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. Presumably it can be done safely with filtering on the tuntap device 
so that normal users can play.
