Silly idea, I know, but does anyone know if this is possible?
I'm not sure whether the 68040 emulation in WinUAE has a functional MMU, although SysInfo and other stuff claims it is there.
-
One could run Minux(?) on WinUAE… Or via PCtask emulator (AmigaOS platform).
Personally, I run Red Hat 8 and Mandrake 9 on VMWARE on MS Windows Server 2003...

No.

No, the MMU isn't emulated, it reports that it's there as part of the 040 emulation, that's all, AFAIKR.
There is a port of uClinux floating around that doesn't require the MMU, and should work.

Double post.

Here's the link to uClinux for Amiga, that I forgot to post above. It appears it's even partly developed in UAE.

uClinux for Amiga500/600/CDTV/etc seems interesting...
-
Kernels with MMU emulation will work ... but i don't think thats in the main tree , its not in my local copy of 2.5.68 thats for sure ;)

I can't see how a Linux could be interesting :-)
AmigaOS is far better... Ok, it lacks multi-user support. I hope it will be added soon....

Thanks for the info, guys - I'll let you know what I do.

@Elwood
Having AmigaOS multi-user defeats the point in my opinion. Where goes fast bootup (and powerdown) if you have to logon (and logoff)? That's just one little thing but the easiest to perceive.
-
It has been about two months since your initial posting. Have you made any progress? I am very interested in your work.
-
Sadly, no - minix will sort of run, but has a tendancy to bomb out and trash my boot partition, and none of the others will run without a proper MMU - looks like I'll have to try it on the host PC.
-
If you want to run a sandboxed Linux, then I'd suggest using something like Bochs, which works for me. Is there any reason (apart from the sheer fun and curiosity which I can definitely understand :-) ) why you want to use UAE?

Still dosent hurt if that feauture was there.. They could include a function to turn it on/off.....
you can make linux login default user automaticly also...
