Very interested, thanks. PC> IMHO, it is worth considering placing these on the Debian mirror PC> despite the "purity" issue, however there will need to be some PC> discussion about this. As I am stuck in the New Maintainer's PC> pipeline I cannot do anything about it at the moment. If nobody else steps forward, I'm a maintainer, and would be happy to help this get onto a mirror. As you suggest, though, I'll wait for further discussion. My own opinion is that this is a step closer to native Hurd boot floppies. Once we can get the changes to the programs accepted for installing the Hurd, then we can work on getting the programs changed to run on the Hurd. In any event, these floppies make it cleaner for installing the Hurd on a spare machine. -- Gordon Matzigkeit <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> //\ I'm a FIG (http://fig.org/) Committed to freedom and diversity \// I use GNU (http://www.gnu.org/)
