Hi, I only started using Hurd recently (okay so Slashdot finally got me to try it, but I had been meaning to for a while). I've got it successfully installed on a separate partition, and hope to start fully looking at the source soon.
However, I've had a slight problem recompiling mach, it compiles and boots well, except that it doesn't like "ls --color", it just ignores the colour commands (they exist if piped through less). The pre-compiled kernel works fine in this respect. I've no idea what's causing this problem and don't like to start looking through the source until I know I can at least compile it properly. Also, I've enabled the kernel debugger, but I'm not sure how to activate it, could anyone help? Thanks. Tim N.
