Re: Debian GNU/Hurd installation discs
The best way to install Debian GNU/Hurd, imho, is crosshurd from a
Debian GNU/Linux (for example, I never tried at yet Debian GNU/kfreeBSD).
BUT, first I'm a Debian user and got everywhere Debian installed (i.e.
you need a Debian install) and second, I tried to install the system
from crosshurd about for 2 weeks once again and had different bugs that
made the installation (for me :-[ ) complicated; from the easy downgrade
of tar (http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=576876) to the
difficult Read-only problem with "native-install"
(http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=557422).
With the L1 image it was easy to install Debian GNU/Hurd, also with X
server and "all the rest" ;-) . I.e. the image is very useful to install
the system and even if is not the best way to install it, is for sure
the easiest :-) .
Really thanks to Phil to produce this CDs and hope also for a d-i for
this summer
(http://wiki.debian.org/SummerOfCode2010/HurdDebianInstaller/JeremieKoenig).
Ciao
