I think the easiest instruction is a) grab the tarball b) move it to it�s own partition (explain size and naming ...) c) make a grub-bootfloppy d) boot it
What I�m also missing is the relation between the Hurd and gnumach (I don�t fully understand it myself), who of the two is doing what. Maybe also add some other vital things and their relationships to each other. Disclaimer: I haven�t yet run the Hurd and this is probably pretty much i386-centered. I�m still only learning on this topic. There�s also http://hurddocs.sourceforge.net , maybe you should join forces. Ulrich Eckhardt
