There is an install disk and a live cd, and hurd is using the linux 2.4
drivers.  I've read that someone got a full kde running on it.

would the hard drive address space problem be in hurd or mach?  All I know
about L4 at this point is that it is much more modern, so I wouldnt expect
the hurd/l4 system would have that problem.
