Debian GNU/NetBSD, some comments..




Hi there!

I've tried the tarball from debian-bsd.sf.net, very nice job!

I found some issues I'd like to comment:

- you forgot to clean /tmp ;)

- the website reads (about ifconfig):

* Does HURD follow Linux-style semantics, and if not how have they dealt with this?

The GNU HURD uses a completely different way, it lacks ifconfig or even mount and most of communication with the 'kernel' is handled by translators (settrans).

You should drop the semantics, there aren't many scripts that call ifconfig anyway.

- "find: invalid predicate `-x'" BSDish sysvinit calls find somewhere with the '-x' flag, which is specific to BSDish find. IIRC the GNU equivalent is '-xdev'.

- Error when building screen: "ld: cannot find -ldl". Anyone has an idea on this?

Cheers,
