Yes.

No. You can't install ist, but you can start it, if installed by an admin.

>So is there possible to run Colinux as a high level process ?

If your admin installed the driver: yes.

"low level" has direct access to all hardware for example.
Direct Access to hardware is not possible for "user", they MUS use
a driver which controls the access rights.
