The packages will work with them, for example on a remote X display over the network. If you really want to try to run native X servers, you can try to just get the server binary from the X site and follow Uchiyama's instructions anyway. It should work, because the versions are very similar, IIRC. Or you can try to fake Debian packages and use everything from Uchiyama. Anyway, there are only two times you can download it, the (comparable) small Debian packages from alpha.gnu.org and whatever you get from Uchiyama (official X site). Thanks, Marcus

All of the packages in binary-all and binary-hurd install and work; but are subject to dependencies. There are emacs and vim; and TeX works fine. You just cannot run X. It is like logging in from a Windows PC into a UNIX box. Get screen; this will give you multiple windows on you Hurd Chris

Probably not, but I have not tried others (too much on the plate). > So I suppose this is the same for other directories, like editors and > tex (there may or may not be installable packages in them)? Yes, although the situation is not too worse. TeTex works fine, for example. Missing packages are either the result of binary all packages (which are installed in all platforms simultaneouosly), or version skew. Thanks, Marcus

Download Debian packages for Hurd
Hi all ! I found a lot of symlinks under subdirectories of /debian/dists/unstable/main/binary-hurd-i386/ of ftp.debian.org And I could not use wget do grab them :( Wget just creates symlinks on local disk, as well as ftp and ncftp clients. What tool I can use to download those symlinked packages ? I'm using RedHat distribution and I couldn't also compile dpkg :( I didn't ever find "configure" script inside last dpkg_1.4.0.35.tar.gz 8( Any help and suggestions are welcome. Thanks. Sergey.

Yes. After those are configured, installing packages natively has many advantages over the dirty cross-install stuff (main advantage is that preinst scripts are run). > So I have a few questions: > > 1) As far as I know, I can't use ppp with the hurd yet.

Yes, most likely the easiest thing. If you have two machine, you can use one as a gateway to the Hurd in your local network. > 2) To install XFree86, do I only have to get the x-* packages in the > unstable/main/binary-hurd-i386/X11 directory at some Debian ftp > mirror and install them? Unfortunately, no. There are no X packages in the archive. Get libraries and clients from ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/hurd/debian The servers are not packaged at all yet, and it is not straightforward to install them. Thanks, Marcus
