Hello, This is my feedback on the Hurd installation... I tried the tarball of 25 october 1999.
First of all I'd like to say that "The easy guide to installing Hurd on a Linux box." really helped me doing a painless install. I only miss one little thing in it, a remark of the maximum fs size (1GB) for GNU/ Hurd. Well, after the installation I wanted to compile some programs. Aaargh, compilers were missing. I instantly downloaded gcc, binutils and some headers and it worked perfect (and it still does). I think the compilers are really important and have to be included in the .tar.gz files (but that's my opinion). Now a little question: I compiled Midnight Commander. But I cannot gat it working with colors (only B&W) and normal ASCII codes. I guess this has something to do with the terminal or termcap, but I can't figure it out (in Linux I used one of the tic, tac and toe programs). That's it! Cheers, Dani�l
