Congrats. A couple feedback items from an install.... 1. The installer uses ext2. 2. /hurd/random: failed to read random seed file 3. Xcfe desktop has some gaps Regarding (1), ext2 seems a bit unusual in 2019, but it may be a design decision. It may be worth noting ext4 is a journaled file system and ext2 is not. Regarding (2), will this affect my SSH machine keys? Will I be in weak key territory? Regarding (3), Hurd still hangs around when attempting to get a DHCP address. This problem was present in the last version of Hurd. I installed the new version of Hurd in hopes of clearing the problem.
