This is just the detected (and AFAIK) supported floppy drive.

I'm sorry, I don't understand your problem/question. The installer for Debian GNU/Hurd runs on GNU/Linux. I do not see how this is related to the floppy drive driver in GNUMach. GNUMach (that is where the drivers the Hurd uses are in) supports both PCI and IDE (but no shared IRQs). You can easely install Debian GNU/Hurd from GNU/Linux by crossinstalling. There are two ways to do this: - Untarring the base packages manually to a ext2 partition. Please read the Hurd install guide because installing without it seems almost impossible to me ;) install guide: http://web.walfield.org/papers/hurd-installation-guide/english/hurd-install-guide.html Tarball: http://hurd.gnufans.org/bin/view/Distrib/TarballNotes20030126 - Using the crossinstall (Debian) package. I hope this helps you, if not please give me more info about your problem because it wasn't clear not me. -- Marco _______________________________________________ Help-hurd mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-hurd
