I've heard plans to make the hurd always use linux to install. I
don't think it's gonna fit on a floppy.. (On the other hand, perhaps a
hurd install from CD might be doable.)

I hope there are hurd folks on this list (debian-boot). We're
rewriting the Debian installer and it would be good to have input from
you as we design it to make sure it's useful for the hurd too.
