I'm running Windows XP Home as my OS and wonder if anyone is running
Knoppix under CoLinux ?

Given:
======================================================================
KNOPPIX can boot on "coLinux" which is Linux emulator on Windows200,XP.
New KNOPPIX iso image includes "coLinux" installer. It enables us to boot
KNOPPIX as VirtualPC and VMware.

Requirement

PC Windows 2000, XP. Free space of hard disk is more than 340M.

coLinux: 6MB + Cygwin/X: 330MB.

More than 256M Memory. Desirable memory size is more than 512M.

Internet connection. It is required to install "coLinux" and "cygwin".

Computer Administrator.

Media which includes the installer

CD-version@iso(knoppix_v3.4_20040517-20040820.iso). This is used as a
normal CD-boot KNOPPIX.

===================================================================

Now if the above should work with the above release, should it also work
with
knoppix_v3.7-2004-12-08-EN.iso
