	I think that our CVS tree is the better location...

	I have made uptodated disk images. But only on ext2 partition... The
	ODS2-VFS used in usermode linux doesn't work fine. Sometimes, the
	host OS (linux 2.6.11) hangs when um-linux tries to access an ODS2
	partition. I think the trouble comes from um-linux and not directly
	from ODS2-VFS.
	
	The second problem I have is to use bliss compiler. I
	have built bliss, but I cannot use it to build telnet (for example).
	It hangs with a segmentation fault.
