Thanks Igor, you pointed me in the right direction. I got the newer cross-install, but it was bombing out when trying to call "start-stop-service", which I take it is a Debian-only program. Since I use RedHat, I don't have that binary and commenting out the "exit" line in the script worked. Now I have the Hurd running and it works great, now on to the network configuration. Maybe whoever handles the install scripts could disable the error checking on non-Debian systems. Later.
