This is a step-by-step instruction on how to install Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 (Woody) under coLinux on WinXP Pro. I've been told that the *fsutil* utility does not exist on Win2K, so you may have to resort to other methods on creating the rootfs/swapfs to your desired size (which is beyond the scope of this article). Since this method utilizes only official Debian downloads, it does not rely on preexisting disk images (of which there are quite a few) and should be the preferred method for anyone who is planning on deploying *Debian/coLinux as a production system*.
