Ian Latter has reposted the CosMos v0.1.5.0 installation file on his
http://midnightcode.org/projects/chaos/ site.

No, this is not an updated version, but Ian has reposted it after recieving a number of requests for CosMos
which is no longer available from its original site. The CosMos setup-0.1.5.0.exe is a Windows
installation exe. I tested it when it was first released, as I recall, and had no problem using it. (Note
that Andreas Schäfer and Christian Kauhaus have more current and somewhat related work, The Harpy
Project, on running coLinux with openMosix.)

CosMos v0.1.5.0 August 16, 2004 reposted at:

below is a snippet from the original List postings to openmosix-general and openmosix-devel August 15,
2004 (with the file location updated):
...
CosMos-0.1.5.0;
Brief: A virtual (Linux and openMosix) cluster node for Win32 platforms - CosMos is the supercomputer for
your workstations.
Packages; Linux-2.4.26 kernel with openMosix-2.4.26-20040706 and openmosix-tools-0.3.6-2.
Software; http://midnightcode.org/projects/chaos/code/setup-0.1.5.0.exe
Size; 4.7Mbytes
MD5; dd8d4722526c8dfd293d29f2765aa388

CHAOS-1.5 and CosMos-0.1.5.0 are compatible, and both can partake in the same openMosix cluster.

CosMos is experimental. There are a lot of things we still don't know about openMosix on coLinux - such as why
programs don't auto-migrate away from Windows cluster nodes. However, if you have a hard/dedicated
master/central/head node, then programs will migrate from that head node, to Win32 nodes correctly --
from experiments done to date.

To get CosMos to work on Windows using the PCAP driver, you need to specify the name of the Win32 NIC that you
are going to bridge with. I have tried to autodetect this, but the detection is not in sync with the coLinux
bridge driver, so you may need to experiment. Tips for connectivity;

-- choose "other" from the select list .. and type a name ...
-- enter names that are brief but matching your NIC (Ie; instead of "Intel(R) PRO/100 VM Network
Connection", just type "Intel").
-- if your NIC is bridged using a Microsoft bridge adapter, then the name of your NIC is actually "Microsoft"
-- many systems will default to the name "Local Area Connection".
-- If all else fails, boot a node using "Power On Debug" and see what error coLinux aborts with (it lists the
adapters on startup).

The only configuration GUI for CosMos is in the installer. If you don't want to uninstall and reinstall,
then see config.xml in the installed directory.

See the coLinux FAQs at http://www.colinux.org/ if you need more help.

My only concern with the release of these two versions is that the DHCP leasing hasn't been tested well. It
works, but I'm not certain that it retains its lease correctly. Test it before deploying it in production environments.
