Re: Hurd Partition Limits

I'm setting up my first HURD system and was wondering if the 1GB partition limit bug had been fixed yet... Yes, it still exists; but you can usually use partitions <2GB (but this might not work on all machines). And the system you are using is called Debian GNU/Hurd, not "HURD". Cheers

Hi, I don't know if this would be a good idea, but I may or may not adapt the user's guide for the debian cd disks. As of now the only detailed install info in their is based on Neil Walfield's tarball install method. What I'd like to do is get screen shots of the nice blue menus on the Debia

I think that most newcomers are discouraged by the installation procedure. It's still quite difficult to get a basic Hurd system up and running (network set up). Maybe if you could tell us all what is difficult, then we couold somehow fix that so it will be easier in the future. Would yo

Re: Hurd and Bochs

Since the tarball I found on ftp.gnuab.org was broken, Robert, could you update that tar-ball? Or atleast note that it is broken. Cheers.

Re: GNU/Hurd in severe need for documentation.

[...bunch of stuff about the aweful state about documentation in the Hurd, and releated projects...] Well, I'm not only complaining. And I understand that most of the Hurd developpers are more interested in hacking than in providing newbies with help. If this was true, then there would
