[coLinux-devel] Building a distribution

[Michael T. <mt...@em...>]

Guys,

When I want to build/install a new distro for colinux, what is the =
general
strategy?  I've tried to boot directly from raw boot floppy images, ISO =
9660
images, etc. with no luck.  The only boots I get are from the supplied =
root
partition files.  I know I have to make changes to the disk image once I =
get
it set up, but I'm not quite clear. since I can't seem to get any of =
these
sources to boot - not sure how to work with them.  If I mount them under =
an
existing colinux install, I'm still not sure what I would have to do to =
them
to get 'em to install.  I'm trying to install a degenerate (read open =
source
;-) ) form of RHEL.  I've got three boxes running this distro and I'm =
happy
with it.  Would be cool to see it on my desktop.
