Hi there, what is the usual way to install Debian GNU/Hurd from scratch? I would have thought there should be a root image somewhere that can simply be untarred to a new partition to start out from, but I could not find anything like that on the Debian FTP-server. I have a debian Linux system running and could start out from there, but I could not make up a way to get the basic system on the new partition.
Another question: Where do I find information about the partition naming in GNUmach? I tried to install the GNU Hurd system from the GNU server (Date. ~1997...) but I never got over the point where the file /boot/servers.boot is searched. My guess is, that I did not specify the partition correctly. (To GRUB, (hd0,5) does the thing, what would be the appropriate name for GNUmach?) Thanks for help. Ciao, Nobbi PS: Please CC me. I just subscribed to the list, and I do not know whether it will work already. -- -- ______________________________________________________ -- JESUS CHRIST IS LORD! -- To Him, even that machine here has to obey... -- -- _________________________________Norbert "Nobbi" Nemec -- Hindenburgstr. 44 ...
