Guillem ported sysvinit to GNU/Hurd. I just have the nasty habit of periodicaly finding bugs in it and sending patches =) Miquel: IIRC, sysvinit now works perfectly on GNU/Hurd with the exception of a PID conflict (/hurd/init is pid 1 also). But don't take my word as I haven't worked on this. Let's see what Guillem says (CCed). Wrt your initial question, GNU/Hurd has libc0.3 now and the GNU/k*BSD have libc0.1. > > Okay, anyway, if the hurd doesn't use sysvinit then I only need to > > bother with kFreeBSD.

Thanks Marco. Actualy I hardly read any mailing lists at all lately ;) -- Robert Millan "[..] but the delight and pride of Aule is in the deed of making, and in the thing made, and neither in possession nor in his own mastery; wherefore he gives and hoards not, and is free from care, passing ever on to some new work." -- J.R.R.T., Ainulindale (Silmarillion)
