<!-- '''How_to_Ask_a_Question''' --> First off, '''you don't have to be a [[coLinux]] expert to ask a question!''' Most likely nobody will bite your head off, even if this is your first time trying out Linux in any form. I mean, that's what [[coLinux]] is all about -- being able to try out and use Linux under Windows, especially if you're a Linux "newbie!" So welcome to the Wonderful World of Linux :-) Here are a few simple tips to make asking for help more productive: # Please do some homework first. You don't have to sit for your Linux or [[coLinux]] certification exams, but please try to dot your i's and cross your t's. If you ask a question that's easily answered by reading the available documentation, you may not get a reply (unless it's RTFM :-0), and that's no help. You can look for documentation: #* In the README.txt and similar files that come with [[coLinux]] #* In the [[Main Page]] (this site) #* By browsing the project's [http://sourceforge.net/forum/?group_id=98788 Help and Open Discussion Forums] #* Perhaps by looking over the [http://sourceforge.net/mail/?group_id=98788 Developer's Mailing List archives] #* Browse the [[coLinux]] [[SupportIssue|Bug, Support, Patches, and Feature Tracker]] #* Hang out on the IRC channel: [[nicksandnames]] #* Don't forget to read the [[FAQ]] here at the Wiki #* (Please add other links here as more doc sources are added) # If your question is about Linux and not really [[coLinux]], please take a look at the [http://www.tldp.org/ Linux Documentation Project] for starters. You can also use [http://www.google.com/ Google] to search quickly for some Linux FAQs and docs. # Since [[coLinux]] is evolving rapidly, please go to the [http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=98788 downloads] and the [http://www.colinux.org/snapshots/ snapshots] webpages before asking for help. Try out the latest version(s) to see if this fixes your problem. # Please report what configuration you're using to run [[coLinux]]. Try to include: #* What [[coLinux]] release version or snapshot datestamp you're running #* What Linux disk image (Debian, Gentoo, etc.) you downloaded and are using #* Any major changes you've made to the configuration of your disk image #* The contents of your default.colinux.xml XML file if you've made some changes to it #* What Windows OS version and Service Pack level you're using #* Any other changes (different versions of DLL's, Windows patches, etc.) you made #* Your [[coLinux]]/Windows networking configuration (is the TAP-Win32 virtual adapter using Internet Connection Sharing, is it bridged, etc.) # Please explain the problem you're having as best you can. A non-technical explaination is fine if you're new to all this. What seems to be going wrong? Is the problem recreatable and/or repeatable? Or does the problem seem to happen randomly? Then '''be sure''' to give '''step-by-step instructions''' for how to recreate the problem if you can. # Please report the messages logged when the problem occurs. Send the messages in both the [[coLinux]] console window and the Windows Command Prompt window where you first ran colinux-daemon. Now, here are some places where you can ask for help: * The [[coLinux]] project's [http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=342355 Help Forum] * For more experienced users, the [http://sourceforge.net/mail/?group_id=98788 Developer's Mailing List] * Check out the [[SupportIssue|Support Wiki page]] for information on reporting bugs and other "issues" :-) * (Are there other good places to ask?) I hope this helps. Please fix any errors I made and add updated information. Thanks! ----[[ManuallyAdjusted]] on Sun Apr 23 17:36:18 UTC 2006
