RE: [coLinux-devel] Running as non-admin

[peter g. <plu...@p1...>]

for those who read how colinux works it is obvious it will need admin privs

basically the linux kernel is run in kernel space and multitasks somehow
with the windows kernel

to get it there a kernel mode driver is loaded (docs refer to it as install
even though no files are copied) loading this driver requires admin
privilages

Subject: [coLinux-devel] Running as non-admin


re: http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?thread_id=1039485&forum_id=342355

Quite a lot of people are finding thet coLinux will only run as
administrator. Can someone please confirm this for us?

The only error message people get is "Error, unable to determine if driver
is installed (rc -19)" which is very confusing. It would be nice if
something about admin rights was mentioned. Shall I submit a patch that
changes this error message to "Error, unable to determine if driver is
installed (rc -19), you need to be Administrator at present to run coLinux"
or is this inaccurate?
