I was able to install coLinux on an XP box with TAP networking.  It 
took a bit of slight-of-hand, but it does work:

I also was able to install X11, vnc, and fluxbox on colinux on WinXP.  
I don't have any screenshots, but I do have instructions.  See the 
section "Installing coLinux-20040429 with TAP networking and X11 on 
Windows XP":

As mentioned before, just because it worked for me does not mean it 
will work for you.  So please let the list know how things turn out, 
both good and bad.

Regards,
