interface
(UDI, www.sco.com/udi/). It is an attempt to define an interface so that
drivers can be ported to another os or another hardware architectue by
simple recompiling on the target system from that same source. At the
beginning of this year the 1.0 version was scheduled for june.

Memory
The Hurd supports all type of system memory, including DRAM, EDO, and
SDRAM.
---
I think this should read "FPM" (for fast page mode ram). DRAM (dynamic
RAM) is a term that includes all the others (FPM, EDO and SDRAM
ion.
I saw them in a book store a couple of years ago...
Also note that the kernel interface (to Mach) is not the whole story.
The hurd has some low-level libraries for example for disk i/o. These
are documented in the Hurd Reference Manual. Incomplete, but better than
reading the source...

Hi,
I've assembled the new web pages for the Hurd. They can preview under
http://www.gnu.org/software/hurdtest/hurd.html.
I'd like you to comment on them before they are released finally. Please
report about thing like:
- non-working links
- missing copyright notices
- browsers that have problems

I would like to have the body of your mails in the body, not in an

Of course. There is a install command in GRUB which writes the loader to
another medium. I can't give you the s

Marcus made tar file recently. For details, read the yuoted message.
There is a mirror of alpha.gnu.org in uk:

I think it is not possible (no OS can do this), since a driver needs to
be loaded before the drive can be accessed by an operating system. (I
can say this definitely for LS-120 dr

it seems that the 'Idiot's guide to install the Hurd on a Linux box' is

Hello,
After positive feedback from you, I decided to do some work on the
documentation of Hurd. Here are my plans:
1. Update Webpages and FAQ (until end of this week):
They should state that there is work ongoin to a new distribution of
Hurd, which is already considered quite stable. They shoul
