[coLinux-users] Instant colinux

[Dave C. <dgc...@gm...>]

I see there are a couple of implementations of Colinux:

andColinux :- http://www.andlinux.org/index.php
and Portable Linux :- http://portableubuntu.demonccc.com.ar/

which allow linux to be run under Windows without actually installing
Colinux and (As far as I can tell) or a TAP adapter. Therefore it can
run off a USB key.

Is this reasonably easy to implement?

Both these applications use Ubuntu and while Ubuntu is a great distro,
there are certainly a number of distros which are a lot lighter and
which run better on older machines.

I've been using Slax (slax.org) which is a Slackware derivative and
which runs really nicely on an older machine I have, and I was
wondering how easy it would be to have a small linux distro like slax
that could be run off a USB key without installing.
