Initial Comment:
Hello,
 
I'm a new learner in the Linux area.  I've downloaded
coLinux files and installed on my Windows XP but I'm
having problems getting started. It seems to load up
but the logging in prompt does not show. Please help,
what I'm I doing wrong?  
 
My PC is not networked.  What's the best way to get the
Linux working, shared or bridged?  Please see attached.
 I feel I'm half way to get it working but something
seem to be wrong. And I keep getting the message
Network cable unpluged.  May be this is due to the
network cable being unpluged, as I don't have a network
and may have misunderstood the instructions.
 

 
Thanking you.
 
eve

One more question, what image are you using and what is your
config file?

If your PC is not networked, and you have no desire for
coLinux to get to the outside world, then using TAP is
perhaps the best option to get set up. You should have all
of the necessary items downloaded to get to this point if
you are using a recent installer.

I would suggest that you examine this tutorial
(http://wiki.colinux.org/cgi-bin/GettingStartedLong). It is
a bit old (for 0.6.1), but it has quite a lot of detail and
should help you get on your way.

Please note that coLinux is still in development and is
perhaps going to be difficult for someone who isn't used to
Linux to get configured properly. coLinux has no GUI by
default (a GUI can be attained using VNC or XDMCP), and is
console only. If you are not comfortable in a console, then
I would _strongly_ advise you to install a full blown Linux
installation (on its own partition, etc) complete with the
graphical tools that modern distros provide.
