Hi, I just installed Debian/Hurd using d-i [0] on a VIA Eden mini-ITX mainboard [1]. I just used the first cd for the installation, no network mirror. All in all it went fine, some remarks: * No passive translator was installed on /proc. * The tasksel step looked strange, there was just one empty line and one saying something like "standard system utilities". Hardware support: * The internal network card [2] isn't working, though there seems to be a netdde based driver. Haven't investigated this further. * I installed a 250GB hard disk but it doesn't show up with the full capacity, dunno why. * I hooked up my vt510 terminal to the serial port and started a getty on that port. This works, but if (this is just empirical) lot's of text is sent to the terminal, gnumach writes 'Tty %p stuck...' to the console. Typing on the keyboard seems to help get it unstuck, but if I run either top or htop that update frequently, the terminal becomes unusable. I plan to use this system for performance measurements and as a demonstration box for conferences. I'll keep you posted.
