I have installed the Hurd on my test machine. I would like to report one small problem, and ask a question.
The small problem has to do with the terminfo file, /usr/share/terminfo/m/mach and /usr/share/terminfo/m/mach-bold. On my installation, these are already set up to be broken symbolic links, and so the uudecode does not work. The question has to do with running applications. The program less, and several other programs seem to put themselves into the background, as if I had typed an ampersand at the end of the line. When I put them into the foreground again, they with a segmentation fault. Is this a known problem, or have I done the installation incorrectly? When I try to use telnet, the telnet daemon gets to the point where it can log an attempt to connect from the right IP number, and then it hangs. I suspect this is the same problem somehow, but I don't know exactly what it is. If this is not caused by a strubled installation, I will look into it further. Just for the record, I have installed in several ways, all of which cause the same problem. I have tried all the possibilities of installing a fresh copy of the .deb files and Marcus' most recent tarball, using the result of cross-install on its own, the tarball on its own, and untarring the tarball over a fresh cross-install installation. None of them seem to fix the problem. Thanks.
