Reinstallation problems

2000-09-27 Thread Julio Merino
Hi all, I had Hurd working fine in a 520 Mb hard-disk and I decided to move it to another hard disk. The new hard-disk is about 1,7 GB so I've done a partition of 900 MB ( < 1 GB). Well, after cross-installing hurd and booting in single user mode, I get that ext2fs.static can't mount the partition

gnumach

2000-09-14 Thread Julio Merino
Hi all, I've seen in some message that gnumach can be compiled under linux... sure? I've debian woody with 2.2.14 kernel, and gnumach won't compile. It stops when checking for the host os. Can it be compiled in some way or I need to do it under hurd as I did before? Bye! -- Juli-Manel Merino

Hi I can't do the diff Marcus. I haven't saved the old native-install script. But I only added some lines at the beginning of it. So it shouldn't be difficult to adapt it. Another thing is that I have done the check by testing if a file exists. I don't know a way to know which current system is r
