| | Now, it's time to run coLinux first time. If you have important programs open, then it is time to close they now. If you are very carefully, then you should complete shutdown Vista and reboot it before you runs this step here! Very rarely, coLinux can crash or make impossible to work continue with your system. That's why you should do save all works, before run coLinux the first time. If you are ready, then type: "colinux-daemon @example.com" and fire up with key Enter.

|
| | Some seconds later you will have a Linux login prompt.
|
|
| | The background shows the kernel and daemons bootmessages. The window on top is the FLTK console.
|
|
| | Login as user "root" with password "root", and run "apt-get update". This would connect to internet. If you have a firewall enabled, then please let colinux-slirp-net-daemon.exe pass it for outgoing.
|
|
| | Here you can see a normal outputs for update the packet database.
|
|
| | Next step is typicaly to install the console packets and setup a non english key layout. Please type "apt-get install console-data". (The key '-' Minus is two keys left the Backspace, or one key right side of the key '0' Zero.)
|
|
| | After downloading some packets the config menu will poped up.
|
|
| | Select from the "arch list" is mostly good choice.
|
|
| | I have a "qwertz". You should choose yours.
|
|
| | I'm German.
|
|
| | Standard is good.
|
|
| | "Programmer" or latin1, try it. You can later run "dpkg-reconfigure console-data" If you have wrong here. - Last to say: Shutdown coLinux with "halt" in the Linux prompt, or use the menu "Monitor" from the FLTK console.
|
|
| | That's a good idea to make a shortcut on desktop to run colinux with one mouse double-click. Fill the fields, remember to set "" arround the "@example.conf", unless windows drops the '@' from command line. You can also set you console type. I have set NT console there with option -t nt. Don't forget to set the execute path "C:\coLinux" where coLinux you have installed.
