That is probably a better solution, if the xslt translator presents a file as output, giving it a directory as input (when it doesn't explicitly require it) does seem a bit silly. > (BTW, the naming is rather confusing -- unxml actually turns the > underlying structure *into* XML...

It was an idea proposed in the TODO file, though that might be better as a separate translator, as then you'd be able to alter transformations simply by adding/removing translators, whereas that'd be more tricky (I think) just doing it in xmlfs. -- Michael Walker (http://www.barrucadu.co.uk) Arch Hurd Developer; GNU Webmaster; FSF member #8385 http://www.archhurd.org http://www.gnu.org http://www.fsf.org signature.asc Description: PGP signature

Hi, Not so much missing, but a clarification: "And the Arch Hurd team released a new LiveCD (changes) which is a lot more stable that the previous one (including a more stable X, now at Xorg 1.9), [...]" The LiveCD, like the Arch Linux LiveCDs, only consists of a very minimal base system with which to install a full Arch Hurd system.

Re: What do you need from the Hurd for your day-to-day tasks?
One of my aims in starting Arch Hurd was to end up with a system which could run on my server, maybe also my netbook. There are only a few things (alas, big things) before I can do that. In order of importance: Server: * USB * Sound * SATA Netbook: * SATA * USB * Sound * Wireless One of the major functions of my server is sharing USB HDDs across the network, and another is playing music. So whilst Hurd can do more or less everything else, it can't yet fulfil two of my main motivations for building a server in the first place. Neither my netbook nor server can put SATA drives in PATA legacy mode, though my server does have an IDE connector on the motherboard. -- Michael Walker (http://www.barrucadu.co.uk) Arch Hurd Developer; GNU Webmaster; FSF member #8385 http://www.archhurd.org http://www.gnu.org http://www.fsf.org
