If your BIOS supports booting from CD ROM, this will work very well indeed. I personally think installing using a tarball from Linux is the easiest way, though. Especially for older computers that either don't have a CD ROM drive or where the BIOS is too old to boot from CD.

installation
hi! I've tried the HURD a couple of times, and could never get past this. I've cross-installed, and have run the network config command. For some reason, though, I can ONLY connect to my nameserv. For example, if I ping them, I get a reply right away, no problem... BUT ... if I try to ping, say, www.google.com, I get google's ip no problem (cuz my nameserv gave me it), but BOOM! 100% packet loss. if you could help me out with this, it'd be greatly appreciated. I'm facinated with the hurd, and am looking forward to adding my newbiness to it. h... a lesser problem I have is with emacs(20). For some reason, only some of the commands work. C-n works fine... but C-u only sets the mark... so C-u C-n still only moves done one line. Anyone know of a fix for this aside from remapping all the commands (I think that my meta button isn't working nicely either). OH YEA, one more. is there some way to remap the window button to a CR? I type on dvorak (which I've already figured out in hurd, thank you) and would like to be able to pull off those quick "ls "s. =) thanks in advance!

The pool/main/x/xfree86 contains several packages that resemble an X server. However, I'm wondering why the x-window-system* are ending in `_all'? I guess this suffix means that it can fit any architecture, but I don't quite get how the X server itself could be architecture independant. There is also an xfree86-common-..._all as well as an xfs-..._hurd-i386. Is the last one the actual X server? Are all of them required?

Basically, letters further out in the alphabet are better, and for releases with the same number, higher numbers are better. H3 is the newest one. > * What would be more rapide method?: > - Installing Debian GNU/Hurd > - Installing GNU/Hurd from CD ROM image The CD ROM images are Debian GNU/Hurd images. If your computer can boot from CD, installing from CD is nice. I _think_ you can boot from a floppy and still install from CD, but I don't really remember.

I'm watching ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/grub/ I can make difference between old tarball and floppy image well: grub-boot-VERSION.tar.gz grub-boot-VERSION.image But what is what between the latest versions?: grub-0.91.tar.gz grub-0.91-i386-pc.tar.gz grub-0.91-i386-pc.ext2fs ___ Help-hurd mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-hurd

Yes, it is normal behaviour and correct. I think at some time we might garbage
collect such debug messages, but currently they are helpful for us in case we
made a mistake.
As you might see from the first message ("compat mode"), using serverboot
is the old way of doing things. In the old days, serverboot was the default
pager of the Hurd system, too (and you can specify a paging device in the
servers.boot config file). But we wanted to get rid of serverboot, as it is
too monolithic and redundant (contains filesystem parsing code etc, eg what
grub already can do much better). So Roland wrote a new default pager,
mach-pager, which is started in /libexec/rc as the first thing we do.
This default pager is more powerful, too (you can add and remove paging
devices and files on the fly). But to actually be able to use it,
serverboot must not become the default pager, so we configure it in
servers.boot to not do so but to terminate. What it does, as you noticed :)
(You can get rid of serverboot completely by changing your grub configuration).
If you have more questions, feel free to ask!
Thanks,
Marcus

first install
Hello help-hurd list, So I've installed the hurd with iso cd's from ftp.gnu.org/gnu/hurd/contrib/iso/hurd-H3/ (I just had to untar the baseHurd.tgz from linux but it's not a matter). The gnumach boots and then booting I get a message from serverboot : Loading single multiboot module in compat mode : /boot/serverboot.gz (this is ok but ...) (serverboot) : terminating, not beccoming default pager. So I wandered if it was a normal behavior. Have I missed something in grub (config from sample menu file) ? I suppose someone knows here. Thanks for help. PS: for info - I've used Debian (linux) for a year now and I just wanted to learn more about micro-kernels. So I'm not a newbie but on hurd I am :o) I can deal with the distro but I don't know much about the hurd. * Jean-Roch SOTTY DESS NTI Université de Savoie Secrétaire d'Alpinux - le lug de Savoie - www.alpinux.net [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ Help-hurd mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-hurd
