VNUML coLinux image

As stated in coLinux web site, "Cooperative Linux is the first working free and open source method for optimally running Linux on Microsoft Windows natively".

VNUML coLinux image allows you to easily test and use VNUML over a Microsoft Windows machine. It is based on coLinux Debian Etch image with VNUML tool version 1.8.3 installed. It includes root_fs_tutorial-0.5.1 and n3vlr-0.11-vnuml-v0.1.img root file systems.

You can download VNUML coLinux image from the Download page.

To use it:

• Install coLinux in your computer. Just download coLinux-0.7.2 installation exe file and execute it. You do not need to download any root file system during instalation.
• Download coLinux VNUML image 1.0 and unzip it to the directory where you have installed coLinux.
• Enter the directory colinux-vnuml-1.0 and double click on the start.bat script. That will make the virtual machine start. Once the virtual machine has started you can login using:

 username: root
 password: root

In order to have network connectivity between the virtual machine and the host, you have to configure the ip address of the TAP interface automatically created during coLinux instalation. Jus go to "Control Panel->Network" and set the ip address of the TAP interface to 10.0.2.1/255.255.255.0. Once it is configured, test with a ping from the host to the virtual machine that you have network connectivity:

C:\>ping 10.0.2.15 -n 2
