I believe you can switch hurd-i386 too.  I have rebuilt the hurd package
just to make sure, and it just works like a charm.

Bug#622302: Small fix to make dvi2ps build on GNU/Hurd

2011-04-11 Thread Svante Signell
Package: dvi2ps
Version: 4.1j-3
Severity: important
Tags: patch
Usertags: Hurd

Attached is a small patch to enable successful build of tcpdump on
GNU/Hurd. The patch is a slight modification of 07_vflib3.dpatch adding
libt1 to the linker. To build properly on buildds the versions of
libxbc1 and libxcb1-dev should be the same: 1.7-2. Looks like there is a
libxcb1-1.7-2+b1 but no -dev version of that library
at 
./people.debian.org/~sthibault/hurd-i386/installer/pool/main/misc/libxcb1_1.7-2+b1_hurd-i386.deb

Try 'df /' for now.

But the maintainer said "porting that is *required* is to stub out the
processor enumeration and MSR access code."

I guess so too.

Re: df command on the hurd

But it would be a nice feature to add. Each filesystem could report the
filesystems mounted on it, and df could walk that tree.

I think this is because Hurd cannot know all mounted filesystems due to
the decentralized nature of the architecture. So you basically need to
manually select the filesystem(s) you want to check. For example "df /".

df command on the hurd

2011-04-11 Thread startx
hello.

as another long time reader on this list (several years) i got excited
again about the activity recently and setup hurd in qemu again a couple
of days ago.

one thing i stumbled upon is that if i try to excute "df" i get

   df: cannot read table of mounted file systems

what does this mean? is this just a bug or do i need to give df some
specific options?
