Success, to some extent
Ok, I've got the system booting (hooray! ;) but native-install won't run
without a huge mess of errors -- these are at the end of this mail.
Marcus, I assume these actually work, but the instructions are outdated. I
am able to help with this, if you lend me a hand.
additionally, when trying to run ae, I see it's been linked against
libc.so.6; the only libc in hurd is libc.so.0.2 -- this is its proper soname
anyway.
Additionally, as I saw a 'perl' package in base on ftp.us.debian.org (for
i386 hurd) I assumed that the provided perl .tar.gz was sufficient -- is it
not?
One last thing: After I've booted, I see no /dev/hd?s? devices. /dev/MAKEDEV
doesn't know how to make them. Do they need to be there? And do they not
represent directories under GNU Hurd?
As it looked pretty close, I just took every .deb in
sid/main/binary-i386-hurd/base and ran cross-install. perhaps this was wrong.
Anyway, I'll keep you posted. I'll try to get dpkg finished configuring
everything... checking man pages now....
