I tried to install the packges from this location and had following
results:
I used dpkg -i to install them because i couldt figure out how
i can add them to dselect.
After figuring out which packages are needed to solve all dependencies
i could run startx and get it work.
But there are some unresolved issues.
First i tell mz configuration:
I have a Hurd installation from the F2 CDs and a Asus Geforce 2 MX
graphics Board.
Whenever i startx and then quit the server i get a very dark console
after two cycles of starting the server and shutting it down i get
am almost dark terminal and my monitor does not recognize it as a
signal any longer. (I think this error was reported before)
twm is not usefull as in this configuration.
Thats because you cant open a new xterm in it by clicking on
Debian in the twm menu (or how do you get a xterm in twm??, sorry
i dont know twm)
Therefore i grabed wmx and compiled it on hurd (works out of the box)
Now i have a working setup with xserver and windowmanager.
But the ctrl charaters are not handled as expected.
If i do a cat > fiel and hit ctrl-d than it works.
But if i do a ping host and then hit ctrl-c nothing happens.
same for cat > file.
everything else works fine as i can say so far.
side note
apt-get install package does not work because it only searches
at http adresses and not local.
Adding a file resource to /etc/apt/sources.list does not solve it.
And the tool apt-setup couldnt be found?
Thanks alot for the great work!!
Now hurd is really usable.

P.S. this mail is written within hurd and X in a telnet session
