Thread: [coLinux-devel] Help on Fedora

SourceForge Headquarters 225 Broadway Suite 1600 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 422-6466

Is there a good resource or "how-to" on how I could use the Fedora distro on colinux, vs. the Debian or Gentoo images that are available?

Thanks!

A while ago, someone posted here a script that sets up a FC1 installation
image file. I took it and improved it so that it will even download the RPMs
from the net and create the swap image. Here you go (in the attachment).

Thanks.

I'm just uploading a package containing Fedora Core 1 root image + config
file + kernel + setup instructions.

In about 30 minutes it will be available at:

http://jaak.sav.net/colinux/

The file is about 70 MBs in size and contains a 2GB root image + bzipped
swapfiles for your convenience. Fedora is quite minimal and contains nothing
but the core packages. It has "vim" and "nano" text editors "apt-get" to
update and install new software.

I used the latest snapshot of CoLinux

http://www.colinux.org/snapshots/coLinux-20040411-2.exe)

Haven't tested it against 0.6.0.

P.S. The bandwidth at sav.net is not infinite, so it would be great if
someone could put this on sourceforge.

After looking at it, no.

Including a custom kernel with the image is a bad idea. At this point,
coLinux doesn't verify compatiblity between vmlinux and the rest of the 
code. Any binary incompatiblity can lead to crashes. You wouldn't want 
to tie the image to one coLinux release anyway.

If there's important something missing from the default kernel that is 
bundled with coLinux's releases, please tell me and I'll add it. You 
could have at least supply the .config file that you compiled the kernel 
with, along with that image.

The kernel is unmodified. I just wanted to make sure that it matches the
modules inside the root filesystem.

I renamed "vmlinux" that comes with

http://www.colinux.org/snapshots/coLinux-20040411-2.exe

and put the appropriate modules inside the root.

C:\colinux>md5sum vmlinux fc1_kernel
7c0f6363be226b45ece4f101002f1816 *vmlinux
7c0f6363be226b45ece4f101002f1816 *fc1_kernel
