Re: Text install does not boot

I get what Narcis Garcia means by versioning. If I want to report a problem, what do I tell/mention what my version is? We may have different versions. Do we all have to have the same version? Having a different version would be easier to "debug" :) But then again, maybe we are just a small

Okay. We have seen arguments/point of views from both (many?) sides. The readers are smart enough to make their own judgment/decision. Now, it is time to move on. Shall we? Keep up the good work, folks. -- budi, trying to find a machine to install GNU/Hurd again... -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email

Debian GNU/Hurd on the net?

At the risk of being silly, I put our GNU/Hurd box on the Internet. http://hurd.indocisc.com Please don't hurd it. :) If the system is unreachable, it could be that the machine is down. (Lately it has been acting up, dropping into root prompt asking for fsck.) I was thinking of creating a

Folks, could you just use debian-hurd@lists.debian.org when replying? ie you don't have to add my name (or other people) in the Bcc: We are all subscribers of the list. I've been getting multiple copies. Once or twice is ok, but too many of them is annoying :( [ps: I am not the admin of this

Ok. We all have read views from both sides. Let's stop the flames. I guess most of you work on the GNU/Hurd in front of consoles, thus have no problem having no ssh (or assume that people could install it themselves). Fair enough... Now, could somebody point a quick tutorial (for impatient

I support the addition of ssh, *even* with a weak random. The problem is, without ssh ... I would have to resort to telnet. I have to manage/operate/update our GNU/hurd through network and I am assuming many are in the same situation. Weak ssh is better than telnet. Having a minimal clothes is
