hm, both have problems hurd-i386, linux-i386 has the problem of.. really long arch: lines Arch: linux-i386, linux-ppc, linux-m68k, linux-alpha, linux-sparc, hurd-i386, hurd-ppc, hurd-m68k, hurd-alpha, hurd-sparc ... etc OTOH Kernel: linux, hurd Arch: i386, ppc, m68k, alpha, sparc is easier on the eyes, but I'm not sure what you do if you want to say linux (i386, ppc, m68k, alpha) and hurd (i386, ppc, m68k) - but not hurd(alpha) -- Brian Russo <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Debian/GNU Linux <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.debian.org LPSG "member" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.lpsg.org -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
