Proposal : You could burn CD containing : - Debian GNU/Hurd .debs - Hurd packages from alpha.gnu.org - sources for Hurd-specific packages (burning packages which sources exist for Debian GNU/Linux would be redundant) - sources for Linux 2.4 (tones of drivers), KGI, ALSA, libGGI, GRUB etc. - all other sources of interest for OS-developers - documeniation for Hurd, Mach, OS and hardware programming This would contain everything Hurd hacker would need and very little overhead. It probably could fit onto 1 CD.
