I think he just wanted to say that the benefit from using the CD might be worth the difficulties in getting it. Nevertheless, if you can just start over again, it might be worth trying (and be easier as you just figured out, that you can just leave the Grub entry as is and install again on the same partition, but don't forget to add the -s to gnumach command line the two boots you want to run ./native-install). If you want to try a K14 CD you might ask the guys from gnu.org.in. They might be kind enough to send you the first CD (which should not be the problem). But right now I suggest just to start over. Btw. http://www.debian.org/ports/hurd/hurd-cd has a good overview of the steps to do, but don't forget, that steps 1 and 2 need single user mode (for the third reboot it should not be neccessary).
i know and i started over 2 times today and at both times after 1st
run of "./native-install" i run into problems. i just reboot and see
this:
# export TERM=mach
# ls
Killed
#ls hurd
........ full .......
........ list of files here .....
# ./native-install
it "froze" at this point:
setting-up libc0.3 (2.3.6.ds1-8)...
ext2fs.static: /build/mbanck/hurd-20060825/build-tree/hurd/ext2fs/durcC:494:
dirscanblock: Assertion dp->dn->dirents[idx] == -1 ||
Assertion dp->dn->dirents[idx] == nentries' failed.
hey i think.. that "mbankc" stans for the cool guy named "Midhael
Bank" ;-). anyway, i will never cross-install HURD again. since i am unable
to download K14 CD-1 what you guys say about "K14 mini CD-1" ?
