Because emacs-gtk still seems to be missing from daily image, I toght that if I could build the CD myself, maybe I could spot why emacs-gtk is not included.
I did found: https://people.debian.org/~sthibault/hurd-i386/installer/README-d-i but it seems outdated. So I have began to make an updated version: {elided as root part} as user: git clone https://salsa.debian.org/installer-team/debian-installer.git cd debian-installer/build {added [allow-insecure] in following lines... unclear why I need it on ftp.uk.debian.org too... maybe the patch make it unnecessary?} cat > sources.list.udeb.local << EOF deb [allow-insecure] http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian unstable main/debian-installer deb [allow-insecure] http://ftp.ports.debian.org/debian-ports unreleased main/debian-installer deb [allow-insecure] http://people.debian.org/~sthibault/hurd-i386/installer unstable main/debian-installer EOF wget http://people.debian.org/~sthibault/hurd-i386/installer/patch-d-i {But patch does not seems to apply anymore:} patch -p0 < patch-d-i {will study the patch more closely later... unless someone kick in before me} {note that 'make' give a list of things you can put after 'make'}
