Re: [coLinux-users] Showstopper in starting colinux

[Brendan J S. <Bre...@fa...>]

You cannot have a .bz file for your root filesystem.  You must unpack it 
first.  Use WinZip or bzip2 in the cygwin insallation.

ie. change

path="\DosDevices\c:\coLinux\Debian-3.0r0.ext3.1gb.bz2"

to

path="\DosDevices\c:\coLinux\Debian-3.0r0.ext3.1gb"


Regards,
Brendan Simon.
