Hi,

My first coLinux install was 0.6.1 so perhaps the installer scripts changed;
but I never did an uninstall before upgrading/downgrading between 0.6.1 and
the later snapshots.
The TAP driver is automatically installed from the coLinux installer and
will be upgraded/downgraded along with coLinux.

Keep in mind that your system might not come up properly after the upgrade
because the coLinux partitions might be named differently: /dev/cobd/0
instead of /dev/cobd0. That's what happened to me when going from 0.6.1 to
the latest snapshot.
Symptom: failing fsck
Remedy: fix your /etc/fstab. Easiest way is to do that the last time you
boot into the old installation, rather than having to do it from a
single-user console on a read-only mounted root partition ... ;-)

success,

--Tim

I have WinXP-Pro on a Pentium4 hardware.
I am planning to upgrade from coLinux-20040417 to
coLinux-20040622. I think coLinux-20040417 was a
development snapshot after release 0.6. So essentially
I  am going to skip release 0.6.1. What is the
recommended procedure to do the upgrade.

Should I do an uninstall of coLinux via Control
Panel->Add/Remove->coLinux ? I don't see any entry for
the TAP driver in the Add/Remove list.

Thanks.
Milind
