RE: [coLinux-users] Does colinux work on NT4

[Shi, J. <Ju...@or...>]

My PC has the service patch 6a which I believ is the latest one. I also
tried coLinux-20040910.exe. In addition to the error message mentioned
before, I also get " The C:\colinux\linux.sys device driver could not locate
the entry point ExFreePoolWithTag in driver ntoskrnl.exe", which didn't
occur when I tried coLinux-0.6.1.exe.

I think there should be something needs to be done in the colinux to make it
work. 
I'd really like to have the climux on my NT work PC which I can't change OS.

Thanks,
JueS

At this phase of development it is only expected to run ok in Win2000 
and XP.

I don't think it should be too difficult to make it work on NT4 (with a 
recent Service Pack, at least), but it may be premature to think about 
porting to old machines (for now at least).

In relation to Win9x, it would need a big patch to work, but no one says 
it's impossible. But I don't know if there will be someone interested on 
doing that port....
