[coLinux-users] coLinux Fedora builds/64 bit Windows

[Bill C R. <do...@gm...>]

Hi,

It looks like most of the image builds for coLinux desperately need updating.   For example, the last Fedora image I built was Fedora 10.   Since Fedora 10 has been end-of-life for more than a year now, the scripts for installing gnome no-longer work.

The problem of course is that coLinux does not support 64 bit operating systems.   I retired my last 32 bit Windows machine 2 years ago.  As such I am unable to run coLinux to build a newer image.

So I have two requests:

    1. Can we depreciate the links to the Fedora builds.   I added a readme file to the image directory that tells users they are end of life, but since you have scroll down to see the readme, many users will probably waste time downloading the images before noticing the readme.

    2. Can we maybe get a list of what we need volunteers to do to generate a version of coLinux that runs under a 64 bit OS?   I've seen the 64 bit development page referenced by the FAQ.   It looks like at least some of the issues are what is required for coLinux to run a 64 bit OS.   For now, I would be happy to run a 32 bit version of Fedora under Windows 7 - 64 bit.   It sounds like the main problem right may just be the drivers?   I would be happy to volunteer my own time, but I don't know a thing about windows drivers, and I would also not want to step on someone else's toes.

Regards,

Bill
