Re: [coLinux-devel] coLinux 0.5.3-pre1

[Richard G. <ric...@ri...>]

Something appeared to be odd with the networking (at least the first few
times I tried).  If I started with -d, I could ping the cL session, but if I
let the console autostart, I can't.

AFter some more playing around, it seems like when I close the console
sometimes networking dies. (killing console with the X).

Anyone else?
