[Coco] OT Linux Boot [was: Re: Compiler]

[John Kent]

Hi Marc

Wubi is a version of Ubuntu that installs under Windows. It installs a 
dual boot (GRUB) and I think it creates a virtual file system in a file 
under windows so that you don't have to repartition the hard disk.  I'll 
do a  bit of googling to see how to boot in run level 1.

Thanks for your help.

John.
