Where is Debian Etch Root Image?

[Pooka-3]

Hello.
Recently, Debian's etch stable released but colinux's root
file system isn't found anywhere. Moreover kernel version
seems to be different from current coLinux's kernel
version too. I heard kernel can work with some patch.

 So Someone please make colinux's etch root FS and kernel,
and please post them to SourceForge. My skill doesn't
reach to that level.
My best regard.

Pooka

Janjaap created a fresh installation.  Many thanks to him!
"Root FS for Debian Release 4 (Etch)
Made using debian-40r0-i386-netinst.iso in Qemu (standard basic
installation) and converted to partition image file for use with coLinux"

I have cleaned and trimmed it down to smaller size (39MB):
http://www.henrynestler.com/colinux/images/Debian-4.0r0-etch.ext3.1gb.bz2

If this is OK, I upload it to SourceForge.  Please give an feedback!

The image was tested on coLinux 0.6.4, 0.7.1 and 0.8.0.
On the older coLinux (<= 0.7.1) you will see an error for udev and
fallback to static directory /dev, that is normal.
Slirp is the first network eth0, users of tap-win32 should edit
/etc/network/interfaces.

Users should run
   apt-get install console-tools
   apt-get install dselect  and/or   apt-get install aptitude
to get a fontend for installing packages.

Janjaap`s, was running under 0.8.0 only and I thought, 170MB was to big
for the compresed file.  I removed a lot:
o Removed all non-essential packages. Compaired the list "dpkg
--get-selections" from Debian 3.0 with 4.0 and removed allmost, that not
exist in the older
(console-common console-data console-tools, busybox, bind9-host,
dictionaries-common, dmidecode, grub, finger, ftp, mpack, mtools, mutt,
openssh-client, patch, portmap, python, tcsh, time, traceroute, ucf,
vim-common, w3m, wget, ...)
o Removed all unused libraries
o Removed all non usable devices from /dev/*
o Removed directories /boot, /lib/modules/*-co-*
o "apt-get clean"
o clean /var/log and directory /root

Some basic fixies have made for coLinux:
o Removed /etc/environment and /etc/default/locale
   (console has no utf-8)
o Comment out all SCREEN_FONT* from /etc/console-tools/config
   (don't support for setfont)
o Added a line "HWCLOCKACCESS=no" to /etc/default/rcS
   (don't support for hwclock)
o eth0 (Slirp) as auto (hotplug is not usable for coLinux <= 0.7.1)
o Slirp with static addresses (works more stable and faster as dhcp)
o Added /dev/cobd[0-7] as fallback for coLinux without udev.
o Changed in /etc/inittab "shutdown ... -h" for halt on CTRL-ALT-DEL

Yes, and nano is the existing editor.

tzconfig would be the next.
I just upgraded the image to use kdm and icewm, everything works fine.
I haven't figured out yet why the console isn't using my german keyboard
but a ssh session is.

Removed warning "unable to initialize frontend: Dialog" by installing
dialog.

The image file Debian-4.0r0-etch.ext3.1gb.bz2 is on SF now:
