[Banibrata D. <ban...@gm...>]

To add some more information...

Following is the content of my configuration file..

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<colinux>
    <!-- This line needs to point to your root file system. 
  	 For example change "root_fs" to the name of the Debian image.
         Inside coLinux it will be /dev/cobd0 -->
    <block_device index="0" path="\DosDevices\c:\coLinux\root_fs" 
    enabled="true" />
    
    <!-- This line can specify a swap file if you wish, or an additional
         image file, it will /dev/cobd1. Additional block_devices can
	 be specified in the same manner by increasing the index -->

    <block_device index="1" path="\DosDevices\c:\coLinux\swap_device" 
    enabled="true" />

    <!-- bootparams allows you to pass kernel boot parameters -->
    <bootparams>root=/dev/cobd0</bootparams>

    <!-- image allows you to specify the kernel to boot -->
    <image path="vmlinux" />

    <!-- this line allows you to specify the amount of memory available 
         to coLinux -->
    <memory size="64" />

    <!-- This allows you to modify networking parameters, see the README 
         or website for more information -->
    <network index="0" type="tap" name="CoLinux TAP"/>
</colinux>
