Re: Building OSKit-Mach (texinfo format) - dead link w/patch

[Mark Paulus]

The link for the remote debugging boot option (oskit-boot.txt)
under Booting OSKit-Mach is broken.  I would propose the following
patch to correct this link to a live location:


--- oskit-mach.texi.orig        Tue Oct  9 11:15:14 2001
+++ oskit-mach.texi     Tue Oct  9 11:16:08 2001
@@ -344,7 +344,7 @@ Assuming all of this worked successfully
 start debugging oskit-mach.  If you have a second machine with a couple
 of serial cables, the preferred method is remote debugging using GDB.
 That is outside the scope of this document, though; see
-@url{http://www.multiverse.ca/hurd/oskit-boot.txt}
+@url{http://debian.fmi.uni-sofia.bg/~ogi/hurd/hurd.gnu.org/oskit-boot.txt}
 for a treatment of that topic.
