<snipped>These are basic questions, which are covered in the easy guide to installing Debian GNU/Hurd - http://pick.sel.cam.ac.uk/~mcv21/hurd.html Yes you can install Hurd using .debs now. cross install is available from alpha.gnu.org/pub/gnu/hurd/contrib/marcus/ (alpha is mirrored on sunsite) > Q3 : > I don't have too much disk space, so is it possible to do some links to > files > from Debian GNU/Linux packages designed for "all" architecture on > Linux partitions? No - althought those packages contain no architecture-dependant code, they may have been compiled, inwhich case the binaries are architecture-dependant. You can re-use packages consisting entirely of scripts though.
