Uh, argl, argl… ARGH! That means, I could have installed a Hurd on my OLPC all along! The list of things I still need to use the Hurd for my everyday tasks just shrunk by 33%: Only Wireless and Sound are missing (since I moved most of my work on the OLPC into emacs anyway). And Sound is secondary, while for much of my productive work WLAN can be substituted with plugging the system-USB-stick into my main computer and synchronizing my Mercurial repos. *Gebetsmühle* I have a test on Thursday, I must not install Hurd on my OLPC today. */Gebetsmühle* Why didn’t I ever think of asking „can I boot Hurd from USB-stick“? - Arne
