Hi, this purpose of this mail is to start a discussion on how to integrate the new L* series of the Debian GNU/Hurd installer with the general Debian GNU/Hurd port. I tried the LX1 image a while ago with qemu and was successfully able to install it. Two general things I noticed: * The paritioning/formatting could do with some more checks, one user reported he accidently had his GNU/Linux /home partition formatted. * The installation results in a /usr symlink. Debian GNU/Hurd should have a real /usr directory, rather. Now, the question is how to proceed from here. It seems there is one LX1 miniISO being distributed via rapidshare and mirrored at some lesser known locations. Is this the final LX1 miniISO, or some testing/beta release? Is there a full CD set available? I believe parts of the screen messages say this installer would install X, while the miniISO does not contain X packages. Where should these ISO images be hosted? So far, the primary location for the K* series was on ftp.gnuab.org, is it OK to have the L* series hosted there as well? Where should the source code of the L installer be hosted? I think it could be put onto alioth as part of the debian-hurd project (and maybe the crosshurd code should be put there as well), do you agree? I think the source code should include native-install and how to assemble the base tarball (if you used any code for it, how did you assemble it?) and how to master the ISO, do you use any scripts for that? regards, Michael -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
