Booting the Hurd ?
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

Hi,
Following the flame war on debian-devel about the Hurd,
I installed it to get an opinion by myself, as I don't have prior
experience about micro-kernels.
So, I managed to install it alright, ... but I can't boot it !!!
The statement by Linus 10 years back is still valid. What
the purpose to have a new design, a micro-kernel and
whatever if it is not even remotely useable ? Developpers
have managed to compile half of Debian packages, but
they did not even think to provide a way to boot it !
Installation of Grub is not even available from the CD.
And once installed from Linux, I can boot Linux with
Grub, so Grub by itself is OK.
I have tried quite a lot of Linux distributions (probably
more than 30 different flavours, altogether), however
I didn't ever see anything as bad as this. And you say
that development of the Hurd started in the 80s ?
Pffff ! Even my first RedHat was better that this.
A bit of thinking about that would be great from the
Hurd people.
Cheers,
Yann
