Actually, it did work. By the way, how do I remove a translator? > The isofs translator has only rudimentary iso9660 support, and needs a lot > improvement. Maybe the CD was in another format? It was a regular RockRidge extensions format.

A first thing I was thinking of is ncftp. Has anybody tried this? And yeah, another thing; apt-get doesn't seem to know it is running on a hurd-i386 architecture and therefore tries to download stuff from the wrong place.. is there a way to work around this? I'm at work now with a direct connection, so a working apt-get would be real niec. (Yes, my employee lets me play with the Hurd during work hours. It's called "personal evolution". :-)
