Re: [coLinux-devel] root filesystem image

[andre <avb...@gm...>]

Don't know how he did it with Debian but generic it is something like this

mount -t vfat /devhda /mnt/windows
dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/windows/colinux/new.img count=X
mkfs.ext3 /mnt/windows/colinux/new.img
mount -t ext3 /mnt/windows/colinux/new.img /mnt/image -o loop

Than install colinux kernel and other software in /mnt/image

you could also install Debain in a harddisk partition and move the partition 
with
dd if=/dev/hda2 of=/mnt/windows/colinux/harddisk.img

Or you can do a lin4win installation and just start the resulting linuxsys.img 
instead of Debian-3.0r0.ext3.1gb and hope it works (It did with Mandrake 9.2)

ps. install another editor besides vi because windows closes the 
colinux-console window when you press ESC. Atleast it does that on my 
computer.
