RE: Hurd installation problem.
Ok, so why does telnetd require ncurses? I'm not completely sure that
telnetd is hanging for this reason, though.
Perhaps the best thing is to install from the freshest .debs I can find, and
see if it is still a problem. I thought I did this already, but perhaps I
didn't. I will do so and let you know.
How close is the 1015 tarball to the most recent collection of .deb files?
Is it necessary to install the .deb files at all, or can I just untar the 1015
tarball and run with that? If the tarball is as recent or more recent than
the .debs, and it is as complete as the .debs then I know there is significant
problem.
Thanks. Sorry to be so difficult.
FWIW, I promised to do documentation, and documentation I will do. I have
added a new chapter to the GRUB documentation - sort of a reader's context
chapter, long on prose and short on technical details. I plan also to create
a more comprehensive QuickStart section. I know there is one there, but I
found it difficult to understand. It's much more clear what it means now
that I understand it, but before I understood it I was at sea.
Unfortunately, before I release it for review, I need a disclaimer from
my employer. Since there are lawyers involved, it's taking forever.
It might be faster just to get a new job. In any case, I'll let you
know the day I have it ready.
