Hi to all from Swansea, UK I've just managed to install GNU/Hurd from a J2 snapshot. Two years ago I gave up on this project but having graduated from Woody to Sarge and just successfully compiled the 2.6.8-7 kernel, I thought I'd give it another go. Crosshurd did not go well for me but the experience gathered certainly helped me with J2.
At present it only boots through the deprecated serversboot.gz method and I've got no internet access with it yet. In Sarge it was just a case of installing CDCEther in the kernel (no ethernet card but ISP - the horrendously spammy NTL - supplies an Ambit broadband modem with DHCP support which is plugged into the USB). I'm not asking for help, not yet anyhow, since I've not nearly tried hard enough for my own liking but I just wanted to thank you all for your efforts on the project. Very Best Wishes Moss
