[coLinux-devel] Memory size and killing console by Esc

[Paul S. <coo...@ua...>]

Hello colinux-devel,

  I would like to report success running coLinux on
P4/2.66GHz(no-hyperthreading)/1Gb/SiS chipset (forget which one ;-).
I had that image size problem but apart from that everything seems to
run smooth.

  There're two feature requests I'd like to sound which somehow were
touched on the list, but doesn't seem to draw much attention:

1. Could memory size for coLinux be configurable? Current 24Mb or so
is a joke. Yes, swap can be mounted, but why experience perfomance of
vmware level? ;-) It would be nice to have memory size configurable in
XML config, but if it's some time to do, could next release ship with
at least slightly decent amount, like 64Mb (128Mb better ;-).

2. Could Esc key stop killing console? I currently work that around by
Alt+27 on numeric keyboard, but it's just pain in the eye.

  Ah, and yes - default image provided is pretty bare. It would be
nice to have at least ftpd and telnetd, and less included - it's not
always suitable to do apt-get (for example, for people with networking
problems). I guess, that's request for some kind sole who can
contribute such an image, coLinux author has other stuff to do ;-)


Thanks and have a great weekend!
