coUbuntu from ISO

I forgot - on weekends I've raised Ubuntu Dapper on coLinux. Installed Midnight Comander, adjusted Apt through proxy. It's great!
The details:

Ho to raise Ubuntu on coLinix having on tap only installation CD/DVD of this distributive can be read in the article Howto Install Debian Sarge image from scratch.

True, in the installator I used only first two steps — mount CD and load installator components. To raise the base system there is a command — debootstrap.

About the net adjusting is written here.

Midnight Commander binaries, which wil work in coLinux console (packages from repository are buggy for some reason) are here.

As for APT through proxy, it was interesting, the first Google link sent me to... /usr/share/doc/apt/ for examples :)

I've created a file /etc/apt/apt.conf with about the following contents:
Acquire
{
// HTTP method configuration
http
{
Proxy "http://user:pass@proxy_ip:port";
Timeout "30";
};
};


It works.
