Download and decompress this 1 Gb Fedora Core 5 file
system image (7 Gb uncompressed). Save it in your coLinux installation folder.
GDL version 0.9pre2 is already included with this preconfigured file system.
If you need a decompression program for handling bz2 files try using
7-Zip.
In the coLinux folder create the file fedora.bat. Add the following
lines and edit the paths appropriately:
c:
cd c:\Program Files\coLinux
colinux-daemon.exe -c "c:\Program Files\coLinux\fedora.colinux.xml"
Right click on "My Computer",select properties and determine the amount
of system memory you have. Decide what portion of this memory you want to
allocate for use in coLinux. For most applications 64 Mb is sufficient. You
also need to create a coLinux swap partition. This partition should be about
twice the size of the memory you allotted for use in coLinux (e.g. 128 Mb).
After deciding the size of your swap space, download and decompress an
appropriate swap file from
here.
Create it in the coLinux installation folder.
Create the file fedora.colinux.xml. Add the following lines below and
modify the block device and memory size parameters appropriately. No changes
to these are needed if you use the recommended settings from step #3 above.
Network index names are case sensitive and are the same as those
found in the network connections
panel.
