Subject: [alpine-devel] Alpine Mini coLinux image to start building your system.

Hello coLinux users,
I've created a start mini image of the Alpine Linux 2.0 only 1.52Mb
compressed size;)
Uploaded here http://www.megaupload.com/?d=ABEVBG9C

To install, please unpack coAlpine-2.0.7z to wherever you'd like
coLinux to live.
You will find three files in archive:
_start.bat  coLinux launcher, has to be updated to reflect path to
where colinux-daemon.exe is located.
alp.hda1  512mb ext2 image of the basic Alpine 2.0 install
coLin.conf   coLinux config file

Please copy vmlinux from your coLinux installation into the same
directory and update _start.bat with proper path to colinux-daemon.exe

To boot Alpine in coLinux, simply run _start.bat
Note error on loading modules during boot, you need fill
/lib/modules/2.6.26.8-co-0.7.7.1 with contents of vmlinux-modules.tar
from your coLinux installation.

To switch filesystem to ext3 please run #apk add e2fsprogs && tune2fs
-j /dev/hda
And update fstab to reflect / being ext3, but not ext2

Hope someone can find it usefull.

I havent tested this since I don't really use windows, but I think this
is very cool!

Maybe create a wiki page for it?

Thanks!

Seems Colinux is not 64b compatible. Else i would have tried it.

Yes, this is the only downside of coLinux, it doesn't run on 64bit
platforms. Seems like you guys already migrated to Win7. I feel like
I'm an old-timer running XP in classic GUI style.

Btw, do we have 64bit version of Alpine ;) ?

Nathanael, I will put something together for wiki as soon as I find
some time. Any hints I need to know about wiki used for Alpine.org ?

http://bugs.alpinelinux.org/issues/239

I am supposed to start working on that pretty soon.

its just standard mediawiki (same as wikipedia uses). You can play/test
on your user page or you can create a page called "Sandbox" to do
testing on.
