Thanks for the emails about my booting problem. However, it turns out that for whatever reason my /boot directory is really (when booting hurd) /bootAB where A is a solid rectangle and B is a smiley face.... That's why I got file not found on /boot/gnumach I realize this is alpha-alpha code, but that's rather odd. Anyway, it wouldn't boot...gets a panic... kernel page fault at addr 0x0, eip=0x11a932 kernel trap, type 14, code 0 Kurt
