I have also no qemu.  I use a 2 GB native partition and install my SuSE 
in this.  It's hard: You must disable all graphics features and don't 
install KDE in the first install.  If the system is running, copy the 
partition to a file and run it in coLinux.

You can copy it directly under your running SuSE, but better you starts 
knoppix for that.  Mount a USB disk or a FAT partition, than run such 
command line:
   dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/foo   # fill all empty sectors with 0
   rm /tmp/foo
   dd if=/dev/hda2 | bzip2 > /mount/to/usbdisk/rootfs.img.bz2
In this sample hda2 was the 2GB partition, that I have used for SuSE 
installation.  This will be stored as compressed image.  If you have 
enought space, than save the file without bzip2.

My latest image was SuSE 9.3 without graphics (no KDE, no Gnome).

Than view into the wiki 
http://wiki.colinux.org/wiki/Converting_Distributions

Change in the image file the /etc/fstab and remove all /boot and 
/lib/modules.

If you can't boot this image file under coLinux, add this bootparms
   init 1
This will not run all the SuSE stuff and you can run it step by step to 
the next runlevel (init 2, init 3).

Or if totaly not runs, add to the bootparms
   init=/bin/sh

It is supported since colinux 0.6.3
Have you allowed your firewall to agent colinux-slirp-net-daemon.exe as 
"server" and allowed to open a listen port?

Try to redirect the windows port 2222 as port 22 for coLinux
(and without the "" after slirp please):
colinux-daemon kernel=vmlinux cobd0=fs_4095Mb cobd1=swap_512Mb mem=256 
eth0=slirp,,tcp:5901:5901/tcp:2222:22 root=/dev/cobd0

This is the slirp network with redirections as XML:
   <network index="0" type="slirp" redir="tcp:5901:5901/tcp:2222:22" />

Install the tool TCPview.exe from Sysinternals to view open sockets.

I think command line apps generally use the http_proxy environment =

Re: [coLinux-users] add new kernel modules

OK, thanks. I don't have the experience to do the compile. Does
anybody have the complied model for squashfs file system support for
coLinux kernel 2.6.11-co-0.6.4? I can copy it into my machine.

This is because the modules have to match the kernel.
You can compile your own modules if you can compile the colinux kernel. You need at least the patched source of the colinux kernel to compile a module for it.
Maybe forcing the modules to load with modprobe -f is worth a try. But weird things can happen with modules compiled for a different kernel.

If i understood it right, the mac address of the slirp connection will never show on the 'real' network. This mac address is only seen by colinux. The windows host will 'translate' all packets to his own ip address and send them out on the network with his on mac address in the ethernet frame.

[coLinux-users] Later OS images?

[Andy C. <ach...@vi...>]

(sorry if this comes through twice - I used my wrong email account to send
it the first time)
 
Hi folks, I'm wondering if there are any newere images than the ones on
sourceforge?  I'd love to find a suse image etc.  The hard part for me is
that I don't run QEMU which seems to be how these things are bootstrapped.
I tried using the Debian one and as soon as I upgraded it to a newer version
of KDE using the APT facilities I managed to mess it up.  I'm about to try
playing with the fedora core image but any insights are welcomed.

[coLinux-users] Batch to open named colinux console...

[Mr S. D. <sim...@ya...>]

Needs work, but here's a simple DOS batch to
open a named colinux service console.  (Useful
when you're running multiple colinux instances.)

Save it to whatever file you want to call it, with
the extension .bat, then pass the console type as
the first argument (nt or fltk) and the name of
the service instance as the second argument.  The
script relies on the tasklist utility, but I've no
idea
if this is installed on anything other than XP Pro
by default.

Usage:

---8X---

@echo off
@for /F "tokens=1,2" %%i in ('tasklist /NH /FI
"SERVICES eq %2"') do 
colinux-console-%1.exe -a %%j

---8X---

[coLinux-users] ICS, bridge, Slirp

[Ken P. <ke...@gm...>]

hi,

The ICS, Bridge are forbidden to be used by my company, so I'm trying
to switch to Slirp, but I guess the switch managed by IT will monitor
all network port, if there are two different MAC address out-going
from the same single network port, the port will be disabled
automatically.

How can work around with this policy? and let coLinux works like one
single Mac address?

Not all typical users can write an error free xml file with "notepad".

The no XML config has the same parametes as you put in command line. 
Plain text config is better readable for users.

No, it does not exist.  Sorry.

First we need a gcc and assembler for 64 bit.  That does not esist, see 
this talks:
http://search.gmane.org/?query=64Bit+Windows&group=gmane.comp.gnu.mingw.user

The second: Some need to change the inline assembler for switching from 
64 bit Windows into 32 bit linux, or from 64 bit windows into 64 bit linux.
Or some one would rewrite the switching code to build it with Windows 
DDK for 64 bit (currently the source can only compile with gnu gcc).

That is a lot of doing, before such code would runs.

Plese search for "64 bit" on the devel list, there exist some more 
peaples with 64 bits ideas:

Ok, I see.  The MAC is ignored for the SLiRP interface.  The config line 
parser still ignors it.
