-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello.
I'm new to this list too and actually wanted to lurk a bit before I post, but Jens is absolutly right. I found much more informations on how to get started on the debian homepage then on the official Hurd page. I don't think that this is how it is supposed to be. Even with the instructions from debian I could not get a running hurd environment. The cross-install from linux did not work (packages in the script seem to be outdated -- I could not find the right, old versions anywhere, a etc-file (I think it was input.rc) is in two packages and breaks the script, ...). Then I found that tar-file on alpha.gnu.org. I could unpack it, but then I ran into grub and could not get it to find the kernel... which is where it is supposed to be when I look with linux. Maybe the grub-disk found right next to the tar-file is a bit outdated and does not work with my 8GB HD? Maybe I used the wrong partition? Is linux' hda3 not (hd0,2) in grub? I don't know. I tried to install the hurd some month back, but ran into exactly the same problems then, too. Distributing via cvs is absolutly no problem for me, but I would like to see what I am getting there before starting to compile. I don't care wether it is an old version, I just want to see that something works. I will get the new stuff once I update via cvs... So in the moment I will just sit back and wait for a current tar file to appear on alpha or new cross-install script. Maybe I can get the hurd to run then...
