Hurd Tips

2024-10-25 Thread Joshua Branson
onfused when apt failed to work. At the time I did not know that users may need to manually fsck the Hurd's filesystem from GNU/Linux with lose2up (is that the right command?). I still don't know how to reliable fsck the Hurd via lose2up. Perhaps we could write a script, that would automatically use lose2up to fsck the filesystem, before starting it in qemu. Thoughts?
