The first two test installs have been made and there are a few problems which people may be able to help with. The objective is to get a clean initial dselect run.
Exim does not configure properly. This means that mailx, at, mutt and logrotate will not configure either. ae is replaced and will not run after the initial dselect run. ed does not work either. They complain about missing libslang.so libraries. My suggested solution is to move exim, ae and possibly ed to the second CD and rely on the editor versions in the tarball. This is probably me. The cdrom can be mounted with settrans /cdrom /hurd/isofs /dev/hd2 and I have managed to umount is by using settrans -fg /cdrom followed by settrans -fg /dev/hd2, but I cannot remount it, the error is bad superblock. Any ideas? Apt-cdrom cannot mount it either. So we are stuck with dselect for F1 at least. With luck the Hurd sub-set can be frozen to night and useful CD images produced Monday or Tuesday (NZST).
