There's an APT Offline Howto (included in the Debian package...), which explains how to upgrade a system via APT, which itself doesn't have internet access. That means, you let APT on your GNU/Linux system fetch all the packages your GNU/Hurd system needs onto a shared store. Then you can install them from GNU/Hurd providing that store as an APT cache. hth, moritz -- Moritz Schulte <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.chaosdorf.de/moritz/ Debian/GNU supporter - http://www.debian.org/ http://www.gnu.org/ GPG fingerprint = 3A14 3923 15BE FD57 FC06 B501 0841 2D7B 6F98 4199
