Thank you guys for reply.
This is exactly what i wanted to hear :)
I was going to install Hurd a few month ago but need to install Linux
stopped me.
I'm unlucky Win programmer and I've got 2 Windows already installed on my
box fow work.
Installing another 2 OS is a little to many for me. I think I'm not alone.
So it would be good to make changes into all info files on Hurd web site to
say that it's possible to install Hurd without installing Linux on uour hard
disk (at least i didn't find such info).
