Is hurd buildable/runnable with gcc 3.2 cross compiler?

2002-10-01 Thread Burton Samograd
Hi, With getting to know the hurd, I'm attempting to do a full build since that's always been the best way for me to learn the first parts of any os. I have a couple of questions that some of the hurd developers should be able to answer: 1) All the build instructions I've seen for doing cross c

I am relatively certain that there are a few bugs in the nfs translator; I never had much good luck with it. As for nfsd, that has gotten even less exercise. Which is to say, they need some good pushin'. ___ Bug-hurd mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] ht

New install problem and what worked for me

2002-10-01 Thread Burton Samograd
Hi all, I just installed debian hurd yesterday for the first time and with some patience got it to work properly using the install guide. One little snag I had was that the version of e2fsprogs that comes with the install was too old (or at leasst that's what it told me). I created the partition

2002-10-01 Thread David Walter
I tried testing the patches that Marcus submitted yesterday. The short version is that the nfsd daemon seems to have problems, but they don't all appear to be new, the translator works mostly correctly for me. sequence: set up a local mount on a hurd box in /etc/exports: /src /path/to/test/
