Hi Matthew, I checked the guide and found no information hopw to install from the tar file, which is really faster and a lot easier. Can you add them? You have to untar it and then recreate the device files, in short, rm /dev/* ln -s ../sbin/MAKEDEV /dev/MAKEDEV, and cd /, ./native-install. This is instead step three and five. Also, please link the install files from alpha, so they are always up to date. > All Debian GNU/Hurd packages should work fine whether you have the symlink > or not.

This is plain wrong. /bin/vi is still broken. > TERM=mach; export TERM shorter: export TERM=mach, or even TERM=mach. Thanks, Marcus -- `Rhubarb is no Egyptian god.'
