You follow the link to the install doc at http://www.debian.org/ports/hurd/hurd-install (there is also an install doc by Neal H Walfield, which I have to add to the page. You can find it at www.walfield.org, IIRC). > Also, I assumed that upgrading software would simply be a case of > apt-get upgrade'ing, as long as the dependencies are not messed up, as they sometimes are because of linux/hurd synchronization, that works. > but it unfortunately doesn't seem like it's going > to be that painless; what's the deal with the whole alpha.gnu.org vs > ftp.debian.org for packages? alpha.gnu.org contains packages which don't build from the official Debian source yet.

This is not a fixed value. A little above 1Gb might work. So 1024Kb will work, but 1100 Kb probably too. Marcus -- `Rhubarb is no Egyptian god.'
