I managed to see something of an error message as the system crashed. /hurd/init (something about an essential service crashing) The problem here is that the system does not crash to order, it usually freezes. > Also, if it is an isofs problem, how do you generate the images (what > extensions enabled etc). mkhybrid -J -r -T -a Do think that it would be a good idea to put x-system.sh onto the CD so other people can investigate?
