The dummy dpkg package made a big difference. I am assuming that the
version in the tarball will behave itself.
H3 J0 J0 with dpkg
hurd-i386.deb's excluded ??? 282 187
total packages excluded 738 1239 991
log.list2cds which records the dependency checking is a brute to analyse,
but I did notice that menu was missing. This had a cascade effect.
menu-> twm -> x-window-system excluded. But a lot of X is included and menu
could be one of the lesser problems.
The Hurd boot-floppies now have the new baseHurd incorporated and I have a
file-tree ready to burn onto CDs tomorrow.
A Hurd Hackers only CD set may not be far away.
