Um, it should be pretty straight forward. I faintly remember the steps :

1. run the installer which would install colinux as well as TAP driver(for networking)
2. expand your image(gentoo, woody etc.) to a file on the HD
3. modify the xml(which is the lilo/grub equivalent) file to use your rootfs file then launch colinux.

That is it. Without knowing what particular problem you have, I don't know what else I can help. Just tell me what stucks so I can suggest additional things to try.

colinux performance is excellent unless you have heavy network activities, if it is within its own rootfs, I don't notice any speed difference than native boot linux. Acrossing network can be an issue(even loopback to the hosting XP), but that only shows when you are doing very heavy network stuff. I once tried import the DVD device from XP to colinux then run mencoder to rip the DVD movie and stored it back to a CIFS share exported on the same XP machine, it took me 10 hours on the 2.8G P4. I did the same natively on a xbox and it is just an hour or so.
