BLAG on Win32 (Part 2!)

I now have BLAG working on Windows using CoLinux. Here is a screenshot:

Some notes on the screenshot:

1. I use WindowBlinds, that's why it looks like I'm in Redhat
2. You can only use X in CoLinux through VNC
3. Currently, my BLAG image is just a modified FC1 image, its not a clean install or anything (you can't do an install with this!)

I'll be posting a wiki entry on how to do this some time soon. Also, I'd really appreciate if somebody could create a lightweight disk image (less than 1 GB compressed) that was produced by the BLAG installer of this. All the ones I make are just heavily modified FC1 images, and therefore aren't quite BLAG.

Thanks,

Stephen Clement

Beta testers needed! I need to get some feedback, so I need some testers :)

Requirements:

Windoz box, preferably Windows XP or 2000. Needs to be at least 500mhz, preferably 1 Ghz. Lots of RAM, 256MB is minimum, 512MB preferable. 2.5GB free space. Broadband internet connection. An hour or two for the install :) . Ability to use Linux without X11.

:D Any takers? (You don't have to completely meet the last requirement :P )

Thanks,

Stephen Clement

Yay, beta testers.

Getting the non-X version running is much easier. Also, the X version needs some updates (which I'm preparing, if anybody wants them let me know).

I'll have some documentation up soon. If you don't mind, it'd be great if we could get in contact. I'm on IRC, irc.indymedia.org, #blag. Or you could get me at s.clement@RANDOMREMOVABLEsympatico.ca.

Thanks,
