Debian GNU/Hurd is a stand-alone operating system. perhaps the name "Debian" confused you into thinking that it has something to do with Linux. that's not the case. http://www.debian.org/ports/hurd/hurd-cd has information on downloading bootable ISO's of Debian GNU/Hurd. if that's a problem for you, i think with a little searching you can find companies that will sell you Debian GNU/Hurd CD's. the short answer to your question is no, you do not have to have a running Linux system. before the bootable ISO's were made, installing Debian GNU/Hurd involved cross-installing from Linux, but that's no longer necessary. -- /"\ m i k e b u r r e l l \ / ASCII RIBBON CAMPAIGN [EMAIL PROTECTED] X AGAINST HTML MAIL, / \ AND NEWS TOO, dammit _______________________________________________ Help-hurd mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-hurd
