Re: hurd installation via iso

[Ron Graves <gravytron@speakeasy.net>]

Hey to all,

I have successfully installed GNU/Hurd via the iso images.  Many thanks to 
Phillip Charles.  The Cook Book was great!

I am just at the console state right now.

My iso disk didn't boot because I copied it wrong.  I re-burned using the 
command line method and it worked fine.

This time I modified my existing grub from emacs (as opposed to the gui YaST), 
and that booted just fine.  Oh, I copied the entry from the Grub floppy I 
made from the CD image.  Man, that boot floppy was sure sweet as I only had 
to change my hd and s values.  I couldn't find a good version of that file 
anywhere but the CD, and it was all set up for the task at hand!  Very Nice!

The native-install went along both times without error.

The settrans -fgap /servers/socket/2 /hurd/pfinet -i eth0 -a myip -g gatewayip 
-m subnetmask command worked straight away.  I was successfully pinging my 
router at the very next prompt.

Thanks again to Micheal, Marco, and Phillip

Now I will see if I can't kill this computer for good!
Ron
