hello, it seems that the 'Idiot's guide to install the Hurd on a Linux box' is one of the documents which are helpful for newbies. So I decided to make it available online:
http://chianti.philosophie.uni-stuttgart.de/~matthias/hurd/install/ (Note that this is an interimistic solution. I think, this document should soon be moved to the GNU site and we should set up a system of mirrors.) -- Matthias
