I started by downloading "the 'Latest', which was pointing to "hurd-j2" (as per my notes at http://faculty.acu.edu/~westk/A_Beginners_Attempt_to_Install_the_Hurd.html), but eventually gave up on that and got a base system via "wget ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/hurd/contrib/marcus/gnu-latest.tar.gz"; (also as per my notes).From: Kent West [mailto:westk@acu.edu]I just installed the Hurd on a Gateway E-1800. It's a bare minimum install, with lots of broken-ness.Which ISO did you use, K3?? If so, let me know if your network applications such as ping, cvs, telnet, ftp, etc work.
ping works, and apt-get works, except that at the moment the system appears to be frozen after downloading a bunch of packages. Haven't tried the other stuff yet.
I just power-cycled the box to get it unstuck, and now my login is not working. Something's broken . . . . Time to go study.
