I tried to install the packges from this location and had following results: I used dpkg -i to install them because i couldt figure out how i can add them to dselect. After figuring out which packages are needed to solve all dependencies i could run startx and get it work. But there are some unresolved issues. First i tell mz configuration: I have a Hurd installation from the F2 CDs and a Asus Geforce 2 MX graphics Board. Whenever i startx and then quit the server i get a very dark console after two cycles of starting the server and shutting it down i get am almost dark terminal and my monitor does not recognize it as a signal any longer. (I think this error was reported before) twm is not usefull as in this configuration. Thats because you cant open a new xterm in it by clicking on Debian in the twm menu (or how do you get a xterm in twm??, sorry i dont know twm) Therefore i grabed wmx and compiled it on hurd (works out of the box) Now i have a working setup with xserver and windowmanager. But the ctrl charaters are not handled as expected. If i do a cat > fiel and hit ctrl-d than it works. But if i do a ping host and then hit ctrl-c nothing happens. same for cat > file. everything else works fine as i can say so far. side note apt-get install package does not work because it only searches at http adresses and not local. Adding a file resource to /etc/apt/sources.list does not solve it. And the tool apt-setup couldnt be found? Thanks alot for the great work!! Now hurd is really usable. Fabian P.S. this mail is written within hurd and X in a telnet session
