Apologies about the last mail : after spending the week-end trying to boot Hurd and sending an email to this list, a more careful reading of "The easy guide to installing Hurd on a Linux box" allowed me to discover I had omitted the -O none flag during the mkfs -t ext2 of my Hurd partition.

Hi, after my last mail fell a bit on the negative side, I want to tell about my successful compiling ("porting" for some value of porting meaning really: "to hack into shape until it works somewhat") of openssh. ssh is an important milestone for me, because it gives me the ability to have the hurd

Hi, there are two particular crashes that are a nuisance to me: 1. Apt To Crash The symptoms are always the same: apt-get install/source will output its first line "Reading Package Lists" and then everything stops. apt-cache can also cause this (no output in this case). I strongly suspect that ac

Hi, In order to get networking working on the Hurd, I need a DHCP client (I've got a cable modem), so I've been having a look at porting the one I use on Linux, dhcp-client. Of course, a DHCP client needs to look at configured interfaces and do things to them based on the hardware type (loopback,
