Hello.
I'm new to this list too and actually wanted to lurk a bit before I post, but
Jens is absolutly right. I found much more informations on how to get started
on the debian homepage then on the official Hurd page. I don't think that this
is how it is supposed to be.
Even with the instructions from debian I could not get a running hurd
environment. The cross-install from linux did not work (packages in the script
seem to be outdated -- I could not find the right, old versions anywhere, a
etc-file (I think it was input.rc) is in two packages and breaks the script,
...).
Then I found that tar-file on alpha.gnu.org. I could unpack it, but then I ran
into grub and could not get it to find the kernel... which is where it is
supposed to be when I look with linux. Maybe the grub-disk found right next
to the tar-file is a bit outdated and does not work with my 8GB HD? Maybe I used
the wrong partition? Is linux' hda3 not (hd0,2) in grub? I don't know.
I tried to install the hurd some month back, but ran into exactly the same
problems then, too.
Distributing via cvs is absolutly no problem for me, but I would like to see
what I am getting there before starting to compile. I don't care wether it is
an old version, I just want to see that something works. I will get the new
stuff once I update via cvs...
So in the moment I will just sit back and wait for a current tar file to appear
on alpha or new cross-install script. Maybe I can get the hurd to run then...
Regards,
Tobias
