Hello! Having a symbolic link for `/usr' that points to `.' has again and again proven to be not really suitable for the Debian GNU/Hurd operating system -- simply for the reason that this isn't what Debian GNU/Linux is doing, which is where 99,9 % of all Debian packages are maintained, I guess, and we Hurd people don't have the resources to fix those where it breaks. The `crosshurd' installation method already allows choosing between having a real `/usr' directory or having the symlink, but the CD installation method does not. Philip, can you change the CD scripts to not create the ``/usr -> .'' symbolic link? For simplicity I'd suggest to do it that way instead of making it configurable at installation time, which could also be done, of course. And: congratulations as well from my side for the K14 release. I didn't need it so far, as there was so far no reason to re-install my box, but the day will come, I guess... ;-) Regards, Thomas
