hi, few days ago i wanted to give a glance to hurd, just to make my packages hurd friendly. after some unsuccessful tries following the on-line installation manual i finally came to this ml's archive. and of course tried the latest brand new xattr method.
at first i tried to roll my own kernel (i was already playing with other patches) but star said me a lot of | star: Operation not supported. Cannot setxattr for ... i thought this was due to my kernel, then i tried kernel-image-2.6.7-1-686_2.6.7-2.1_i386.deb but again star gave the same error messages. anyway this time, after start completed the work, i tried | getfattr -d -m "gnu.*" servers/* dev/* and it looked writing reasonable output. then rebooted and i got a working hurd system. currently i'm updating packages and apt-get goes on a new line at every download speed indicator update, as if it was not able to write the last column without going to the next line. is this correct? i'd be very happy to run hurd under vmware (i would have some more guarantee to keep working on hurd someway) but at the beginning it didn't look like a good idea, hurd blocked all the time. any hint? cheers domenico -----[ Domenico Andreoli, aka cavok --[ http://people.debian.org/~cavok/gpgkey.asc ---[ 3A0F 2F80 F79C 678A 8936 4FEE 0677 9033 A20E BC50
