Hi, Some questions... I have installed succesfully "the Hurd" from the old tar ball file. With this new version, how do I install it? I mean is it like before that I have to do it in Linux. Mount my hurd partition, untar it and do something set -o, unmount, then reboot to Hurd using my grub floppy disk. Or I'll just unzip and untar it from Linux then reboot using my configure grub floppy disk automatically? Or I'll copy it in the running Hurd, where I'll untar/unzip it there. If this is the case, what else needs to be done? By the way guys, what editors are you using? It seems there's no *vi/m* or *emacs* in the tar ball file even before? Also, correct me if I am wrong, if I want to compile a program which is in "*.tar.gz" (if there is available), is it the same with the other GNU tools where I just run ./configure, make and make install? How about the files that ends with "*.deb"? Is it "dpkg -i somefile.deb". Lastly, how do I mount a floppy or a CD-ROM from the Hurd? Do I have to use some translator? How do I use it? Thanks for your help guys. Though, I'm not good with programming, I like the idea and design of the Hurd now, actually, I just love it. Thanks in advance.
