Yes, network drivers are not in the Mach kernel any more, they are in the netdde translator. Please see on http://www.debian.org/ports/hurd/hurd-install.en.html the paragraph starting with "If network does not seem to work", which documents how to debunk issues with netdde. > My ethernet card is: > Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. > RTL-8139/8139C/8139C+ (rev 10) > which supposedly[1] should be supported.

Please read the FAQ http://darnassus.sceen.net/~hurd-web/faq/ > Nor "dhclient" (this might be correct.

I don't think emacs is installed by Debian by default.

You probably want to do that anyway, as it's very different from the linux way :) Samuel -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
