My experiences with the new hurd installation cds

[peter@kahn.nu]

First of all, i'm really happy that you are doing this and really greatful
for all the work you put into making the hurd run!

I have just tried the new dvd.iso on real hardware and these are some of
the things i encountered.

1.) The installation still won't go through unless you select "English -
United states" for language and locale.

2.) Partitioning still fails to recognize the size and present file
systems on my harddrive. It lists my 300gb harddrive as 137.9gb and does
not list the existing file systems or operating systems. So for a
sucessful install your other operating systems will get wiped while
partitioning the drive.

3.) My previously working network interface is not detected anymore thus i
have no networking. lspci output:

Via Technologies, inc. VT6105/VT610GS [Rhine-III] (rev 86)


Hope this helps in some way and if you have any questions or require some
log files and such don't hesitate to ask!
