I am going ahead and building the images. They should be available in a
few days. ae and exim will be on the second CD (extra).
I want to get them out of the way before I get overwhelmed by a turtle.
I am planning on producing the F2 discs in about four weeks.

Depends.

Is Hurd ready for the non-developer to use? I've been checking out this
list periodically for a long time, and just noticed all the talk of CDs.
Could this mean that Hurd is ready for me?
I run Debian i386 unstable right now, as well as Mandrake an

ae-962-30 is not working (broken?), however ae in the tarball does work.
So the ae-962-30 is being transfered to the second CD, if not removed
completely.
There are still duplicate packages, namely bsdutils and eight flavours of
binutils. I am choosing the latest of each pair.

You must make sure that the /dev/hd2 translator is dead too.
Each one accesses the kernel device, and as long as anything has
the kernel device open, the device is busy.

Ok, things are working fine. I guess I just wasn't quite clear. Without
the -a flag to settrans, it resets the passive translator; ergo, using
"settrans -g NODE" resets the passive translator on the node. You want the
passive translator to be set, i.e. as MAKEDEV leaves it. When you want to

I don't think exim is going to be in this batch. =( db3 is just about
finished compiling, and I'm too tired to really do much more with it
tonight. I'll beat on exim a little more when I get up, though, so
I'll still let you know when I've got it, just in case you still have
room for it.

I haven't updated exim in the archive yet - Should I do that soon?

The first two test installs have been made and there are a few problems
which people may be able to help with. The objective is to get a clean
initial dselect run.
Exim does not configure properly. This means that mailx, at, mutt and
logrotate will not configure either.

I have managed to get both main and extra CDs down to 600 meg, hopefully
without removing anything useful. -doc packages were a major target along
with kernel, netscape et al, lg, and Linux documentation.
I can get the F1 CDs out the door. Monday D.V?

There were a number of libgb-* packages uploaded to alpha.gnu.org and I
presume that these were to be incorporated into the CDs rather than the
older ones in the official archive. Where there are duplication of
packages the newer ones are chosen. Are there any problems with this?
