Hello,
I wanted to try and hacking hurd..
I downloaded the Hurd install guide from the hurd home page and installed hurd on my pc using gnu-latest.tar.gz
i did all that it said step by step but installing the hurd wasn't easy and now i need help:
first: it saw to write it on menu.lst(GRUB)
grub> module (hd0,0)/hurd/ext2fs.static \
--multiboot-command-line=${kernel-command-line} \
--host-priv-port=${host-port} \
--device-master-port=${device-port} \
--exec-server-task=${exec-task} -T typed ${root} \
$(task-create) $(task-resume)by doing this, when i started hurd in multiuser mode, after configuring all in single user, he saw that the file system was busy, he couldn't fsck, so falled in single user(mainteinance)
I replaced with
grub> module (hd0,0)/hurd/ext2fs.static \
--readonly --multiboot-command-line=${kernel-command-line} \
--host-priv-port=${host-port} \
--device-master-port=${device-port} \
--exec-server-task=${exec-task} -T typed ${root} \
$(task-create) $(task-resume)It WORKED..
Ok all right, but looking at the os i denoted something: no gcc installed!!
apt-get update couple of errors: he couldn't resolv some servers.. apt-get install gcc upgraded libc 2.3.x <- I think it is the bug installed other things.. gcc3.2.2.. etc.. couple of warnings
restarted my computer.. I can't login!!!: login> login root password: ***** Error: (mig/ipc) server died...
the libc 2.3.x i need for installing gcc kills my /hurd/password (I interpreted)
what can i do for having a working hurd without downloading 1GB of ISO images?
PS: i think it is the libc because it appened another time, when I only tried to upgraded my system, and so the libc.
