Then your guide picks up at the reboot, mounting the CD-ROM and getting dselect, apt or whatever working from the CD. I am not a Hurd hacker as such, but a CD butcher. It is on the cards that I will be making a few changes to the CD structure over the next month or so which will need to be documented. Could there be a little more detail about the Grub and Hurd disk/partition naming schemes? As a complete Hurd newbie I thought I understood them and got lost. I am limited to a dialup modem for uploads and have yet to locate a local site where I can run along with a couple of discs and ask them to put them on their ftp server.
