Yes I did when I tested it. I ended up installing individual packages using dpkg. The problem is that Hurd is under development and this means that dselect and apt will not work properly even if they are set up to work from a CD. Potato (2.2_r0) was frozen for months before all the issues which affect the building of a CD were sorted out. The only way that a good Hurd CD could be produced is to have two versions on the mirrors, one frozen, the other unstable, and have a team of people working on frozen making certain that all the bugs were eliminated. IMHO Hurd is not ready for this yet. Phil. - Philip Charles; 39a Paterson St., Abbotsford, New Zealand; +64 3 4882818 Mobile 025 267 9420. I sell GNU/Linux CDs. See http://www.copyleft.co.nz
