![]() I followed the directions and when I run the daemon, I get this errror. Something along the lines of UML’s “hostfs” would complete the set, and would make it potentially as ubiquitous as SFU or cygwin, but with the massive bonus of being able to run Linux binaries. If your XP or 2000 machine is an Active Directory domain member, then you’ll already have a Kerberos ticket which you could use for authentication with the services running under CoLinux. The cool part about CoLinux is that it could potentially be turned into a system service rather than an end-user application – so it’s just “always there”, and you can bring up a shell capable of running Linux binaries any time you like. No big deal – X was designed to network, and CoLinux includes a Win32 Ethertap driver for precisely this reason. The screenshots showing X11 were using just the X server from cygwin – as CoLinux doesn’t have a normal console that can host a traditional X server. ![]() I just tried this out, using a custom filesystem image (128Mb) containing busybox compiled on a PC running Linux proper, and it worked fine – booted into the shell and everything worked as you’d expect. On LINUX this is the character device /dev/mem, and for Windows 2000, and non 64-bit Windows XP the device. You can download a tarball of a Debian installation which decompresses to 1Gb. The only hard part is giving it a filesystem, which is supplied as an image file. It runs ix86-compiled Linux binaries *out of the box*.
