Whee, I just made it through the entire thread!! :-) Some comments:
1) hardware detection
Libraries... libdetect is the big one. When it was first started I had looked
at it and thought (IMHO only) it was a mess, but since then it seems to have
improved significantly. it is reasonably modular and

Duh I feel dumb, I forgot to say that the dhcp stuff also did not work
in the image from
http://auric.debian.org/~aph/bf/2.2.17-2000-09-14/images-1.44/idepci/
but it works just fine from stable.

Thanks for summarizing this, Glenn. I will make some small corrections and

Ive been playing with the Hurd, and talking to a few people (notably

We were hoping to install the Hurd from a Linux installer, i.e. install
everything under linux, then reboot into the hurd and do anything Hurd

Uh, apparently broken.
I tried the new ones, the 5-floppy set from
http://auric.debian.org/~aph/bf/2.2.17-2000-09-14/>
with the following result:
Everything went smoothly until the first reboot (from a boot floppy),
and this is where I was dead in the water:
-
Package: modconf
Version: 0.2.26.14
Severity: wishlist
modconf uses LANG for dialog language selection,
even if LC_MESSAGES is set to a different value.
The language could be parsed out of the output of
/usr/bin/locale, though I don't know if that's
available to the boot-floppies.

It seems to me that it is more likely that users will have read the
documentation if they need the rescue disk then if they need a boot
(in the sense of install) disk.
Thus, it should be la

Hmm, do we have a list of "known/expected problems" somewhere?
