Folks, Hmm good idea, I'll do a write up as well. It was very tricky to get it installed from the business card iso, but the results are really good I believe. In conjunction with cygwin's X11, it's possible to ssh -X to the debian Colinux install (from windows cygwin), and run X apps, so if the netrek server had console X/TCL app controls, one could access it. Actually my image when all is installed correctly is 553M, which could prob be reduced if desired, and when gz/bzipped it would be smaller in case Bob or Quozl thought it useful to host on ftp.netrek.org. This is really an ideal situation, e.g. running the netrek server as a native Linux app on Windows, and I feel this is a good situation given the alternatives e.g. porting to cygwin, or windows. Esp when the server goes through revisions, it can more directly be patched. -bd ----- Original Message ----- From: "James Cameron" Date: Sat, 8 Sep 2007 22:02:47 +1000 I've written up the process to create a Debian based virtual appliance for a Netrek Server, placing it in docs/README.debian-virtual-appliance in my repository, and attached. Unlike the previous post, this image is a mere 127Mb. ;-) One based on OpenWrt x86 should be about 3Mb. There's a lot of cruft in a standard Debian install. -- We've Got Your Name @ www.mail.com!!!
