Re:[coLinux-devel] coLinux 0.5.2

[Ian L. <Ian...@mq...>]

Hello Dan,

  Thanks for the binary test version.  Its good to be attacking the 
problem from both ends at once :)

  
  I've included my test system specification below.  I have had
success under WinXP SP1 with "booting coLinux straight out
of the box (colinux-20040131-bin.tar.gz).  I haven't tried the fsck
test/issue reported here, but I have had the network configurtion
issue as reported here.  (In windows, I can configure and ping
any IP address I choose, In Linux I get sendto errors).

  Included here is a replacement "step 1" for the README, for Windows
XP.  I laughed when I saw the number of additional steps over 2k .. 
certainly got to consider the TCO when upgrading Windows versions,
hehe, go MS;

  1.  Install TAP-Win32 (WinXP)
     Control Panel -> Add Hardware -> Next -> Yes, I have already connected the
     hardware, Next -> Add a new hardware device, Next -> Install the hardware
     that I manually select from a list (Advanced), Next -> Network Adapters,
     Next -> Have Disk -> Go to the supplied TAP-Win32 directory and choose
     OemWin2k, Open -> Ok -> Next -> Next -> Finish


  I have also been advised that a friend of mine can probably compile your
driver for you.  He has access to the following DDK's;

Let me know what you want him to run with ... 


  There seems to be a little terminal emulation issue under the 
console (this may be a TERM env issue tho, didn't check) - but
no realy problem.  And, once I shut down the virtual system, I
was unable to kill off the windows driver, or restart the system.


  Love this project, Dan you're a dude.
