Some time ago I was using > some old `Debian GNU/Linux' distribution and there was no problem > with `dselect' program there (I know nothing about `apt-get'.) dselect is executing the mount command, which is a full native mount on GNU/Linux. The GNU system, though, has a mount script that makes use of the real thing (Hurd translators). That script seems not be fully compliant with GNU/Linux mount. Dselect should use settrans and friends directly when the __GNU__ macro is defined, and mount otherwise (for both GNU/Linux and GNU/*BSD). you said wanted to learn about the Hurd. could you fix that problem? It shouldn't be hard (check settrans --help). I think it'd be like this: mount -t iso9660 /dev/foo /cdrom --> settrans -af /cdrom /hurd/isofs /dev/foo umount /cdrom --> settrans -f /cdrom See http://www.vmlinux.org/twiki/bin/view/Hurd/BtsFiling for patch sending instructions.
