Now that I'm switched over to GRUB, I'll start working in that
direction.
It may be a while, though. The HURD binaries are huge, everything is
compiled with debugging information (including libraries, some of
which are 10MB in size). The binary distribution takes up 300MB of
space. (I do most of this experimentation on my laptop, which only has
a 800MB drive.) Maybe after I get my new machine.
