Hi, I think it's time to for a major overhaul of the existing installation instructions. The reason is, I believe, a fragementation of methods used to install Debian GNU/Hurd.
To that end, I propose to partition the instructions in five independent parts: 1. Preparation of the host system 2. Installation of the base system from the host system 3. Boot setup 4. Booting/running the Hurd 5. Native-install/post-install ad 1. - Dom0 setup for Xen - qemu installation - qemu grub disk image download/installation - nothing in case of native booting ad 2. - K* CD - crosshurd from either GNU/Linux or GNU/Hurd - base tarball extraction - debootstrap from either GNU/Linux or GNU/Hurd - nothing (in case of using the qemu image) ad 3. - Grub setup for native booting - Grub setup for qemu booting without a Grub boot image - Xen hurd modules/gnumach-xen installation - nothing (in case of Qemu with Grub boot image) ad 4. - Qemu - Xen - nothing (in case of native booting) ad 5. - native-install - nothing (in case of Qemu image) - nothing (in case of debootstrap) is that about right? Maybe 1, 3 and 4 can be dealt with together for Xen/Qemu/native. Once we settled on the above, somebody could flesh everything out using the existing documentation, maybe using a temporary or new area in the wiki.
