Mailing list notes:
Networking variants:
multiple nics
TAP -> PCAP -> Bridged
Move to the 2.6.x kernel
devfs -> /dev/codb0 becomes /dev/codb/0
folks are more often building colinux from gentoo than debian
but then more often installing the debian coLinux image :-/
conoppix ... co-knoppix
zero configuration networking
coLinux graphics
Frame Buffer suggestions ...
shared memory techniques
betwixt windows and coLinux ... ugh!
-----------------------------------------------------
Configure XP to connect to the net over ethernet.
check "Show icon in task bar when connected"
Assigned static ip
Downloaded/installed Cygwin (defaults)
testing Cygwin Bash shell:
added "set -o vi" to .bashrc
alias c='cd /cygdrive/c'
alias co='cd /cygdrive/c/coLinux'
alias desk='cd /cygdrive/c/Documents\ and\ Settings/Vern/Desktop/'
Downloaded/installed Cygwin/X from cygwin.com using setup.exe
xterm, ssh, wget, ed, vim, file, ...
testing X:
export DISPLAY=:0
XWin -clipboard :0 &
unblock in XP sp2 ... sigh
xterm -sb -sl 1000 &
bunzip2.exe swap_768Mb.bz2 (time 0m32.144s)
open network connections
Intel-8255...
properties -> advanced -> Allow other network users to connect through this computer's internet connection
make sure the TAP adapter is enabled
should be set to static 192.168.0.1 ip with 255.255.255.0 mask
cp -p default.colinux.xml default.colinux_01.xml
vi default.colinux.xml
root_fs -> Debian-20040605.ext3.1610mb
swap_device -> swap_768Mb
crank up the memory to 256 :-)
chmod 0755 *
./colinux-daemon.exe -c default.colinux.xml -t nt
vi .bashrc
set -o vi
set -o vi
In windows ping 192.168.0.40
In coLinux ping -c 3 192.168.0.1
fart with sp2 firewall ... allow icmp ... sigh ... try again
vi /etc/hosts ... important!

ifconfig
free :-)
ok, now we want to get some files from XP over to coLinux ... hmm
choice 1) passwd root ... scp
choice 2)
Proxy note:
export http_proxy=http://{yourProxyIpAddress}:{yourProxyPort}/
export ftp_proxy=http://{yourProxyIpAddress}:{yourProxyPort}/
apt-get update
apt-get dist-upgrade (time 2m48.499s)
apt-get install smbclient --- WORKGROUP

redo NAT
In coLinux:
cp -p sources.list sources_01.list
smbclient //swisscheese/coLinux -U Vern
ls
get sources.list
get vmlinux-modules.tar.gz
exit
cd /etc/apt
cp -p sources.list sources_01.list

apt-get update
apt-get dist-upgrade ... be bold (time 2m48.499s)
apt-get install module-init-tools gnupg
cd /
tar -zxvf /root/vmlinux-modules.tar.gz
modprobe ip_tables :-)
alternate method ...
apt-get install smbfs
mount -t smbfs -o username=Vern //swisscheese/coLinux /coLinux
mount :-)

bless there hearts they think we dont use the network transparency capabilities of X
we are not going to run a local X display ... so
cd /etc/kde3/kdm
less Xstartup
-bash: less: command not found ...
apt-get install less :-)
can never remember which file ... sigh
