obscure cross-install failure
Hi Again,
Still working on getting the hurd installed. I was running cross-install
and getting all the .deb's, I got all the base pkgs and 2 optional ones
(less and ed) and suddenly it aborted with a strange, and uninformative
(in my opinion) message. Maybe it means so much more, to someone on this
list?
(BTW - I've re-run it several times and It's getting the same error).
It installs all base packages, and begins work on optional, heres the
output at that point:
**snip**
Installing optional packages, this may take some time.

Any insight into this show-stopping error is greatly appreciated!
