No, mostly distributions have special initrd, that would not run under
coLinux.
The second problem is, that the distributions needs full partion table
informations.
You have some alternates:
* Install WUBI and follow steps from Wiki. That is very easy.
See http://colinux.wikia.com/wiki/Wubi
* The (new) scsi drivers are usable to install in such way, for example
scsi0=disk,C:\colinux\harddisk.img,4000
scsi1=cdrom,c:\test.iso
But, you need to modify the initrd and add the modules into. Bill has
posted the commands for Fedora:
> gunzip -c initrd.img > initrd.cpio
> tar xfz vmlinux-modules.tar.gz
> find lib/modules |cpio -o -H newc -A -F initrd.cpio
> gzip -c initrd.cpio > initrd.img
This way is mostly difficould. For example you needs a distribition that
can install without graphic. coLinux have text mode only.
