We have this with dryden. Thanks Neal.

Can hurd support that much swap though? > I know that it has problems supporting partitions >1G A couple hundred megs of swap space would be enough. If it isn't, just add another swap partition. I have not been able to make a partition over 2GB, partitions ~1GB are good. I don't think anyone wants to compile glibc or gcc on a 486 so 1GB partitions are enough. More physical ram would be better than swap for this machine. > It would run adaquately if 20 people don't login at once :) I don't think it would handle 20 compilations at the same time :) Perhaps 20 irc clients. > It's been some time since I installed hurd, so does it > support IPv6? > Perhaps if you poke Mr. Kotry IPv6 would come along sooner. ===== James Morrison University of Waterloo Computer Science - Digital Hardware 2A co-op http://hurd.dyndns.org Anyone referring to this as 'Open Source' shall be eaten by a GNU __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
