Will the HURD boot loader be LILO or GRUB or something else? I am looking for a package to maintain that is particularly needed by the HURD. The only such list I am aware of does not indicate relevance to the different platforms. The HURD boot loader is GRUB. The HURD runs on top of the GNUmach kernel, which uses the Multiboot standard. AFAIK the only free Miltiboot compliant boot loader is GRUB, but it should be possible to use other boot loaders that know about Multiboot. Note that GRUB can also load other OSes, amongst them the various Linux images. So GRUB may also be relevant to Linux users. In fact I use only GRUB on my system and use it for Linux, the HURD and some other experimental things. Mark
