I've installed the Hurd, and it appears to be working okay. A few problems: The easy guide to installing Hurd on a Linux box has old addresses - GRUB (and serverboot?) needed to be updated before it would work. Debconf doesn't want to install - it complains about something in Perl and /dev/fd/8 ? When it boots up, it spits out something to the printer (HPDJ 692c) connected to the parallel port that causes it to print some garbage and spit out a page of paper. DHCP? I realize that it might possible to copy the IP's over from Linux, but that risks annoying a sysadmin sooner or later. I guess this may be my entrance to the wonderful world of Hurd hacking . . .
What can I do if I build packages? I realize I can submit a patch to the BTS if it needs one. I'm not a Debian developer, so I can't upload to Debian. I can upload them to my ftp site (x8b4e53cd.dhcp.okstate.edu) which would only be up when I was running Linux - is there a better place? -- David Starner - [EMAIL PROTECTED] If you wish to strive for peace of soul then believe; if you wish to be a devotee of truth, then inquire. -- Friedrich Nietzsche
