As a CD vendor I have been lurking in this group for about five months now. I have also added Hurd to my Debian archive and keep it up to date. My hope is that at some time I could assist the Hurd community by producing a suitable CD. I haven't got round to a Hurd install up to now as I don't have much in the way of porting or development skills. The best I could do at the moment would be to collect the various bits and pieces; grub, documentation etc and burn them onto a CD(s). I don't know how useful this would be. If people thought this would be useful I would be happy to take this on as a project - after the Debian 2.2 release.
