I just installed the hurd, by grabbing gnu-latest.tar.gz, etc. Running native-install twice worked just fine, and now the system is up and running. But when I try to set up my cdrom drive, "settrans -c /cdrom /hurd/isofs /dev/hd1" and then try to list the contents, I get "/cdrom: permission denied". I can't even list the file attributes. showtrans seems to say that everything is set up just fine. I recently ran MAKEDEV hd1 for the cdrom drive and showdev seems to think everything is fine there too. Additionally, when I use the -a flag, as in "settrans -ca /cdrom /hurd/isofs /dev/hd1" then I get the same permission denied error, only it's permission denied on /hurd/isofs (which I also can't list attributes on of course) The permission denied on /hurd/isofs is particular to when I use -a. Of course out of ignorance I've tried chmod'ing both /cdrom and/or /hurd/isofs to 755, but that doesn't work either with permission denied. What's going on? Also, I'm having problems with the network translator. I run settrans /servers/socket/2 -fg /hurd/pfinet --interface=eth0 --address=192.168.0.2 --gateway=192.168.0.1 --netmask=255.255.255.0. My GNU/Linux machine is the gateway. When I try to ping the gateway, I get "ping: socket: translator died". Which of course doesn't mean much, since I get the same message even when I haven't attempted to set up pfinet. I've been scouring mailing lists for docs on these problems to no avail. I'm happy to RTFM if I can find it. Any help would be appreciated. -- David Allen _______________________________________________ Help-hurd mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-hurd
