Re: [coLinux-devel] conoppix

[Digital I. Inc. <ok...@di...>]

I am working on conoppix.

it is KNOPPIX ( CD boot linux) based new linux distribution.

it has three ways to boot -

 1. CD boot
 2. loop back boot
 3. coLinux virtual boot

loop back boot is, you can boot from c:/linux/conoppix.compressed.img by NTLDR.
and the CD has cygwin/X Japanese installer forked by autorun.inf.
( Of course, it can display English).

you put a CD to your Windows box, then a splash screen comes, everything installed,
and runs coLinux. any problem?
I think if you are newbie of Linux,
you dont have to install gentoo on a raw partition.

and it is easy to make "conoGentoo" or "conoFedra".
somebody would try it.

BTW, conoppix is just a working title, named by Aloni.
what name is good?
luckyly, conoppix.(com|net|org) and conoppix.jp are vacant.
