[coLinux-devel] Feature Requests

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

This is early days - I understand that  the project is currently active 
as a "beta only, test and feed back please" system, but I've got a 
couple of requests, from my testing, for when the time is appropriate.


For future consideration;

  -- A commandline switch to disable the diagnostic screen 
     from starting automatically, when colinux-daemon.exe is
     launched.

  -- A commandline switch to enable colinux-console.exe to
      connect to either the default console (console0), or the 
      specified console.

  -- If its not there already (I can't be sure), to have the "file
     -> quit" (or window close) option of the colinux-console.exe
     automatically detach from the current console.


  Also, when I booted the CHAOS file system under the coLinux
kernel, I first configured the default.colinux.xml file with;     
<bootparams>init=/bin/sh</bootparams> .. but it still booted with
the init at /sbin/init (I was quite surprised to see the OS ready 
when I got there - I didn't expect it to port cleanly the first time;
the reason behind the experiment).
  Is this feature currently hardcoded, or ignored, in the config file?


Thanks,
