Recycle is empty. I then hit defrag, but it does its "analysis" first. It stops at 97% analysis. Sign comes up that scan has been cancelled because an error occurred in the file that supposedly no longer exists.
I don't know what to do next.
I used this a long time ago. Its pretty cool but I'd still rather use vmware or Qemu.

It's a full Linux kernel running in memory space of WinXP. It gives to Windows the full set of kernel services Linux provides. I'd guess it can even be restricted to run "almost just linux" with a few Windows services now and then. The disadvantage, of course, may be having already payed for (extremly expensive) Windows and not using it enough.
If well marketed this could mean an increase of development of native (commercial, closed, etc) Linux apps, since they would run in already deployed Windows systems without changes and without emulation.
In any case it looks like a good thing for companies looking to get into the business, even if a bit risky.
And my favorite disto is Ubuntu.

I'll have to make sure I write that down if I try this.

Is everything this hard? Or worse?
Thanks for this article SA.
My question to you is: Is this easier for most people than putting a Knoppix CD in and booting to Knoppix?
While the co-Linux exe is a small file you still need the image, which makes this hard for dial up users.
Or am I mistaken?
Yeah - why would you want to run Linux under Windows ? A waste of a good operating system.
Again, in your rush to denigrate Linux, you miss the obvious. That command you complained about is a windows command--not Linux.
No, it's not easier. However the benefits are that you get a larger storage capacity from your hard drive, you get the speed improvement of your hard drive over your CD drive, and it's permanent.
The Knoppix, though, it MUCH easier to start up for the end user for the first time. Once you get past the first time, though, it can just be an icon sitting on your desktop that you can run--without having to reboot.
That is the command recommended to install this version of linux. Without linux, commands of that difficulty are not normally required just to install something.
So where are these linux guys from? Looks like Japan? Great, another foreign competitor that gives what was our Unix away for free.
Is everything this hard? Or worse?
No, you could put that in a shortcut or .bat file.
CoLinux was written by an Israeli student.
You then select which Linux distro you want to run. Note: There are a few things that have to be done to the Linux distro before it can run under CoLinux.
My point is it's in no way helping our software sales here in America. Simply another trojan used to move us over to foreign freeware.
