I have coLinux 0.8.0 running. I have recompiled the kernel with GCC 4.2.0 and have most modules working (there are a few that you must not use under coLinux). I have tons of files and everything works (have not had any crashes / panics). I even have kde working - thus my method works ... Run new coLinux installer - but don't bother downloading a root image. Go to SF and choose your own so you can see the size and monitor the download. I chose Debian-3.0r2.ext3-mit-backports.1gb.bz2 since it is fairly new and fairly small (you can upgrade AFTER you install it).

abstract	I have coLinux 0.8.0 running. I have recompiled the kernel with GCC 4.2.0 and have most modules working (there are a few that you must not use under coLinux). I have tons of files and everything works (have not had any crashes / panics). I even have kde working - thus my method works ...

Follow the instructions on numerous other pages to get everything installed properly and your network running. Be careful if you use "ping -c 1 xx.xx.xx.xx" to check your network, some places don't answer pings and so you might not know it is working. Now that you have coLinux running and the network working properly install X11 on your Windows side of things. Cygwin's X11 works great. Use xterm (on coLinux's sode) to contact X11 (on Windows side) and you will have a large window (with scrollback) instead of the tiny coLinux terminal (though you still have fltk that you can "TAB" to and use your function keys to log on additional times). Use "apt-get update" and "apt-get upgrade" to make things newer. Use "aptitude" to pick and choose exactly what you want - and see how huge a download it will end up being when it adds other required packages to your selection. Sometimes you will want just one little file but if you have a new system you will need many MB's of additional things to be installed. Things to download: You might want to start with a firewall and some system utilities. You might want to download _some_ Linux documentation to your Windows system (and view them with Acrobat) to assist you to learn / use Linux. You would still need to use "aptitude" (or apt-get) to get Linux .info and man pages so you can type "info" in your xterm window and use the Linux side of things to view your Linux docs (which are not the same as typing "info" under Cygwin's shell). Remember that whatever you get it must run on either fltk (coLinux's little screen), X11, or the huge download; KDE (which looks sort of like WinXP and IE). What I mean by this is that you don't want to try to download a DVD player for coLinux - it would be more sensible to use it on the Windows side directly. You get better support for your sound card, faster video and DVD access. On the other hand some things are way better on the Linux side (like compiling coLinux or GCC-4.2.0). There are also things you simply can't do and sometimes ways to get around it (like using Wine to make the coLinux installer for WinXP). You need to decide on which of your two platforms you want to run which programs and how to divide things up - it can get confusing 8x) . We now continue with the somewhat dated documentation that was already here ... shorter and saner version here : InstallDebianFromIsoShort <Bracx> I created a howto/notes to install Debian Testing available at The howto uses the newer non-xml configuration format.
