I had thought that I can do a unofficial packages to use Ubuntu on Windows system (due to the Colinux kernel).

Some replace entire bus drivers. As the kernel team bear responsibility for any kernel shipped as part of Ubuntu, be it in Wubi or any other variant, the decision and the work needed to maintain a separate kernel tree rests on them. This work would in all likelihood require multiple full time developers, and the potential audience is not large enough to warrant that allocation of resource. Therefore, colinux support will not be added to the officially distributed Wubi, nor do I see how it can be made part of any other officially distributed variant of Ubuntu. 1: <A HREF="https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/foundations-karmic-wubi">https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/foundations-karmic-wubi</A> </PRE> </BLOCKQUOTE> </BODY> </HTML>
