You're much better off using qemu. You can read about how to set up an
instant development environment here:

Well, telnet and ssh are remote so they're subject to netdde ha

Hi Richard,

From what you describe, it doesn't seem to be a hang caused by this.
With your amount of memory, you shouldn't even have a HIGHMEM segment,
which makes bugs even less likely. So I don't know what happened to
your system, or if you're doing something wrong or not

I use aptitude and have no such problem. On the other hand, the Hurd
may be hanging. Using aptitude can lead to large memory usage, which
can increase swap usage, and fill kernel memory (in older kernels at
least).
So, what's your version of GNU Mach ? And how much memo

We also know network can just randomly hang because of bugs in the
netdde server.

Hi,
anybody of you using aptitude?
It has a strange malfunction to me: I select the action on packages
(e.g. opdate or install) then confirm the next review step then, if
necessary, downloads will happen, then it hangs. It never starts
unpacking/configuring things. I can hit ctr-lc and notice
