Is all you need. Get the tar file, extract it, boot.
You also need a GRUB boot disk, don't forget that. Further Debian packages
are in the binary-hurd-i386 tree in unstable (not too many right no, but
growing).
The tar file is about 9,5 MB, which should be acceptable.
Matthew should update the idiot's guide...
