I've just managed to get my first coLinux setup running on my laptop. It's pretty exciting so far. I was wondering, however, if there is a way to get the cursor position to show up in the console window? VI is next to impossible to use without knowing where your cursor is. ;-) Perhaps I'm just missing something obvious. Thanks in advance! Now, for my next trick. I want to learn to install White Box Enterprise Linux distro. any suggested readings?

This happened to me, but it is not a great problem. The colinux terminal = does not work properly, but if you use a ssh client like putty to = connect to your colinux machine you will bi able to use vi and every = cosole app. If you need graphic applications I recommend you vnc. txemi ----- Original Message -----=20 From: Michael Taylor=20 To: col...@li...=20 Sent: Thursday, April 15, 2004 8:23 AM Subject: [coLinux-devel] Cursor annoyance?

Thanks guys! I found the snapshot at around 1AM last night and it's = very nice. =20 On another topic - there are all kinds of warnings about this product on = SMP systems. Can anyone point me to a page or explanation of what kinds of issues exist in the kernel on SMP and any related background?

For my SMP systems, the most obvious condition is a system hang on either CL startup or shutdown. Happens about 50%-60% of the time, even when my .exe files have been run through imagecfg -u *.exe. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Michael Taylor" <mt...@em...> To: "'Dan Aloni'" <da...@co...> Cc: <col...@li...> Sent: Thursday, April 15, 2004 11:47 PM Subject: RE: [coLinux-devel] SMP - Was Cursor annoyance?

Folks This is a known problem. For now, I usually use the NT console instead = of FLTK console by adding the argument "-t nt" at the end of the command = when invoking colinux-daemon.exe. Thanks.
