Hi there... Having just installed the hurd... (a fun-filled experience for both me and the hurd :-) Having those dummy perl packages makes life a nightmare.... - do you think that the base/perl* packages could be replaced with their perl5 equivalents real-soon-now [tm], so the hurd is properly installable?
Could the easy install guide be updated to remove the timezones package from the "required packages" list? Any idea why when I try to view my linux partition I get a: /dev/hd1s1: device not configured (or something like that) (having done an apparently successful settrans, and I used MAKEDEV to make hd1 and hd1s1) Why do I get a "gratuitous error" when doing a ls -l on /dev? What's the story with ppp and pthreads support in the hurd? These seem to be the biggest and most annoying things missing to me. -- --- Peter Hawkins [EMAIL PROTECTED] Internet Solutions Australia (ACN 077 685 011) Ph: 1300 369 990 - Fax: 02 6230 4455
