Hallo! I've installed Hurd on my machine accordingly to The easy Guide from http://www.pick.ucam.org/~mcv21/hurd.html but still have some doubts about using it. My questions are the following:
#1: The df command output is: df: cannot read table of mounted filesystems. It happens even when I mount my floppy drive or any other linux native partitions. Why? #2: I'd like to mount different filesystems other than ext2 ones, such as BSD, msdos partitions and IDE CD-ROM drives. Which are the arguments I have to use in the command below? mount -t [filesystem type] /dev/hd0s1 /mnt For msdos partitions, I've tried mount -t msdos /dev/hd0s1 /mnt with no success. #3: Capslock key doesn't function. In order to type MAKEDEV, for instance, I need to keep the Shift key pressed all the time... Any idea? #4: After installing the base system I'd like to get other packages via ftp. I have an ordinary ppp connection to an ISP. Ppppconfig is the basic package which sets it up, but it depends on other ones such as ppp, netbase and so on I couldn't find at ftp://ftp.debian.org/pub/debian/dists/potato/main/binary-hurd-i386 How can I setup a ppp connection this way? Awaiting for some help, Thanks, Rickie
