I won't push for Hurd-specific code to be included in BusyBox; these changes could be confined to the Debian package as far as debian-installer is concerned. On the other hand, such code would probably be maintained, out of necessity if nothing else, as long as the Debian GNU/Hurd effort goes on. Data about the "liveliness" (or lack thereof) of the hurd-i386 port is collected as part of the Debian archive qualification process [1]. In any case, I'll try to make my changes as system-agnostic as possible, and to coordinate my effort with the Debian GNU/kFreeBSD people. They need BusyBox for debian-installer as well and have their own patches [2].

This being said, thanks for taking the time to review the alternatives. Minix 3 seems interesting and I'll be sure to have a look.) -- Jérémie Koenig <[email protected]> http://jk.fr.eu.org/ _______________________________________________ busybox mailing list [email protected] http://lists.busybox.net/mailman/listinfo/busybox
