Package: hurd Version: DVD Binary-1 20200731-17:45 --- Please enter the report below this line. --- Having been aware of the GNU/HURD for some years and seeing that Debian offered it (and being subject to the general slow down in life in the era of COVID-19) I though it was worth having a go and trying to install it on a spare system. However, now I have found #959221 I have to say that trying to install onto a real machine with this later and different image does not seem any better. Some parts of the UI work acceptably fast but others, like around disk partitioning are dangerously unresponsive, fortunately I was working on a spare machine with only a single, empty SATA hard-drive otherwise it would have been easy for unhandled but stacked up key presses to damage existing OSes installed elsewhere in the system. In effect you press a key, and... ... nothing happens, so you think "oh that wasn't valid there" and press another key, and again... ... nothing happens ... after a while ... nothing happens ... then suddenly! Nothing continues to happen ... finally, the first key that you pressed takes effect, then the next, then the next - but by then the "cursor" is in the wrong place and the wrong thing happens! Now I am aware of this Bug I will try again when I can get to the machine (it is elsewhere) and this time be very sure and deliberate about which keys I press and where - and try and note down which bits are okay and which are like wading through concrete.
