[coLinux-devel] Fedora Core 1 root image/script for coLinux

[Jaroslaw K. <ja...@zd...>]

Hi guys!

I've recently downloaded coLinux 0.6.0 and I must say it's really great
piece of software. I run it successfully on Windows 2003 EE and I'm really
impressed with its performance and stability.

I've written a simple script that prepares a customizable root image for
Fedora Core 1. You need to run it as root @FC1 host.

Included are:

- base system (minimum set of rpms)
- openssh client/server
- wget
- apt-get preconfigured for 'freshrpms.net'

Note that the package contains no kernel, so Fedora's native posix threads
aren't supported.

Note that you need to specify:

    <bootparams>ro root=/dev/cobd0</bootparams>

in your config file.

The script is available (NO WARRANTY) at:

I can provide binaries too, but they are large (>65 MB bzip2 for 1GB root
image) so I'd rather put them on the sourceforge.net website.

Let me know if anyone finds this useful.
