Hi there, I'm new to the HURD system and my knowledge about programming under Linux/UNIX/FreeBSD is limitted. In fact it is non existent. Therefore I will be the one with the stupid questions about anything.
I installed the system from a tar archive (2 weeks old) and it worked just fine. After some try and error games with Grub I can start the system now in single and multi-user mode. Ok, I have a problem with my network. The kernel recognises my network card during bootup. Unfortunately it doesn't initialise it. I seem to have a not common Realtec card (8029). Where can I get a working version of a network card driver and how do I install them ?? I also read about a program called apt - What is it ? What can it do for me ?? Mounting my Linux partition worked just fine, but as I wanted to mount a FAT32 partition I couldn't find a translator for it. I thought there should be one because of the GRUB. Thanks for help.
