I think this is a problem in the Guide. Matthew, have you updated a fixed version with my corrections lately? > 2) syntax error: a missing ";" in line 124; solved. That's an old version. You should definitely get 1.4, which is on alpha.gnu.org/pub/gnu/hurd/contrib/marcus BTW: When sending reports like this, always include version number and probably a "diff -u oldfile newfile". Line numbers don't tell me much because cross-install changes a lot. > Now, the problem; the guide says: reboot with the GRUB floppy in the > drive. But, where do I find the GRUB floppy image? alpha.gnu.org/gnu/hurd/boot, IIRC. You can also try ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/hurd and then some subdirectory. Note that you just have to "dd if=file of=/dev/fd0 bs=512" your floppy image to a floppy disk. Thanks, Marcus -- `Rhubarb is no Egyptian god.'
