Hello team
Over the last 2 years. 3 times I have tried to install Debian-Hurd and
failed because I make an installation DVD and then my computer does not
even see the DVD-1 in the DVD drive, although it sees all Linux bootable
isos and the Haiku iso when a disk is put in the hard drive. So the
Debian-Hurd DVD has been made to be non-bootable for reasons that I
cannot even imagine: the installation disc is in fact a dead disc.
The problem that I experience will be very common (at least 50%, I
guess) as I multi-boot using Grub and in 95% of cases find installing
different operating systems easy enough but as you do not even mention
this initial installation problem on your web site installation
instruction, then I suppose the people who fail to install Debian-Hurd
because the installation disc is not recognised just give up and install
an alternative instead, and do not submit bug-reports, as such a
submission is very complicated and often too baffling to actually do.
Have you any idea on what the iso recognition problem is and how to
overcome it?
I would love to give a non-systemd Debian system a try, as over the
years, Debian has been until recently my favourite Linux operating
system.
Yours sincerely
Graham Cunnington
