Installing hurd
Hi All!!
I'm new with hurd and i tryed to install it using the page at Debian and
the easy-guide.
I downloaded the scripts dpkg-hurd v1.0.3, native-install v2.5 and
cross-install v4.4
This are the problems i have to manage:
The "--download" method wont work with the links in the ftp server so i
downloaded the .debs by hand.
(I tryed using http method with wget instead ftp)
After running cross-install well, i boot my box on hurd and it ask me
for the file: [some]/boot/servers.boot
I noticed that a file at the same location have the name
/boot/servers.boot.dpkg-new so i "cp" the file with the correct name and
it works.
After some hardware checks it hungs with an error message like
"boot-start:416 bla bla bla".
Reading many mailing list i found that the file "exec" would be in the
directory /servers (that was empty).
The file exec was in /hurd so i "lndir" that directory.
It works fine and i got the propt (taping twice any key).
I inmediatly try to run the native-install script(like the easy-guide
says) but every pipe brokes.
I try configure the network (using the easy-guide commands) and it tell
me that the directory /servers/socket doesnt exist.
Creating it by hand the native-script works and pipes begin working.
The native-install script says that many files are unconfigured because
libc0.2 have problems with some directories ( /etc/rc* ).
Again i created that dirs and it works fine.
I try apt-get to make the things easier but i noticed thar it defaults
to i386 (not hurd-i386).
Touching /etc/apt/sources.list solved the problem, but i cant still use
it. :-(
apt reports that a package was missing (sysvinit).
I downloaded it (from Markus contrib at alpha...), installed it, and
after boot it hungs with a segfault in runsystem.
any idea?
Ariel.
