Re: Debian GNU/Hurd
It is tricky. Hurd has dselect of course, but not all of the
options seem to work. If you have ethernet then that is
your best option for installing once you get bootstrapped.
Somehow I read the easy guide and also the Debian Hurd
FAQ's on the translators. One of the FAQ's will cover
how to set up your ethernet. Amazingly I get better
performance through my cable modem with Hurd than
I do with Linux 2.4.3 for some yet to be understood reason.
Hurd hard drive access is slooowww... You will think you
have an ancient IBM PC with a 10M Seagate ST225 :-)
Take some time and get GRUB working first. Then you
can boot any OS on any partition. I use GRUB to multiboot
between Linux, Hurd, and Windoze with no problems, and
I can help you set it up if you send me a linux style list of
your partitions and which ones are to be bootable for what OS.
Don't be in a big rush, it took me about a month of screwing
with Hurd to really get it working good. It takes time to learn
the new ways of doing things required to set it up.
Here is a link to a very useful page that will explain how
to set up various translators:
