Re: [coLinux-devel] Help on Fedora

[tei <42...@in...>]

Sorry for my broken english. Ignore dificult/imposible to understand.



Debian, Gentoo and fedora images all use diferent configuration files 
for network setup.

Its usefull to use coLinux to learn this differences withouth messing 
with huge CD downloads.

Thanks to all image creators, and to all people triing to improve these 
images with is feedback.


I not agree morfic, but its good feedback. Some people will spect the 
same taste of image design. My reasons to disagree is that for testing 
purposes and cfg learning can be better a smaller download. Also looks 
like dificult to get big files hosted/mirrored. Removing a lovable tool 
can be needed to achieve a very small image download. Reporting about 
this important deleted tool in the readme can be a good idea.

I actually think the fedora1 packaging method was *excellent*:

  - provide all files needed. xml config, main image, swap image..
  - small download
  - very informative readme file, with examples of use.

Hummm.... I think fullfilling the request at "documentation, icons" 
thread will make the coLinux package much more usable. I have already 
provide a icon, but is lame, and is derived work. Other people may 
download and edit the wiki help pages (coLinuxNetworking and other 
pages) with a consistent style and send to the developers. I suggest 
"running as service" where the main suggested method, has is very smooth 
  and generate good feelings about the coLinux stability. I, for one, 
somethimes close by mistake coLinux in app mode. AND looks like much 
more easy to open a shell and type 'net start coLinux' than everything 
(Helll... looks like I am a console zealot or what?)


Sorry my bad english and this long long post.
