Installing a "normal" distribution on coLinux - "The Slackware on coLinux HOWTO"I am very impressed with the power of coLinux. Great work for a 1-month old (public) project. Has anyone attempted or succeeded in getting a recent RedHat install done through coLinux? I've read the threads started by Nir Perry about his experiences with Slackware, but I am not experienced enough with Linux administration to try to duplicate them, much less apply them to RedHat. I've had a lot of luck with the Debian starter image, but some of my programs behave very strangely (crash). The behavior looks like it could be due to incompatibilities between compiler and library versions, or they might be due to coLinux. I really can't tell, and would like to take the distribution differences out of the loop to isolate the problem. I realize that the coLinux developers have lots to do, but fortunately, the images aren't impacted by coLinux development. Is there another source of images out there? (vmware users) Is there enough interest to start a projct compiling a library of images? Or is it just easier to focus effort on getting coLinux to boot generic install CD's, and go from there? Any help would be appretiated. Rob |
