RE: [coLinux-users] Limited number of Linux can run coLinux

[peter g. <plu...@p1...>]

there should be no need of any modeules for networking in colinux

remember colinux does not directly access real hardware to put your system
on the network you need to look at
http://colinux.org/wiki/index.php/coLinuxNetworking

snapshots are at http://www.colinux.org/snapshots

the modules for use with colinux are supplied as a tarball which can be
transferred into the linux install and extracted once networking is up but
this is only needed for advanced stuff like iptables

there is nothing distro specific about colinux and there is info elsewhere
in the wiki about trying to make a linux install work nicely both natively
and in colinux

sadly linux has no real concept of hardware profiles which can make such
things a little awkward

the 2.6.x based colinux (current snapshots not yet any releases) should boot
any of the existing images. i belive there are some issues with distros that
use devfs though but this is all in the wiki

if you want modules support with a 2.6.x based colinux you will need
module-init-tools installed how easilly availible this will be depends on
the distro

Subject: [coLinux-users] Limited number of Linux can run coLinux


It seems that only a few limited number of linux distribution can run
coLinux - those who came with the coLinux distribution. Although linux
kernel 2.4 are not supported now under coLinux(so they can concentrate for
2.6 kernel), there are a limited number of information on how to get it
working with the 2.6 kernel, e.g. Fedora 2.

Is there step by step to build coLinux VM on Windows, as well as how to
convert ANY linux distribution into coLinux compatible? Is there any latest
patch to apply to 2.6.7 kernel?

I somehow manage to convert my Linux partition into coLinux VM(I guess..)
but there are so many errors before it gives me the login promt. But
eventually, I get the login promt and able to log in.

At this point, since I do not have the 2.6.7-co-0.6.2, my network card is
not working, and some others modules as well. How do I compile those in
/lib/modules/2.6.7-co-0.6.2? Should I build it within coLinux or should I
build it in native?

Hellllllllllllllllpppp! Thanks

PS: Is there a site where I can download the snapshot of the latest coLinux
source/binaries? Thanks
