Re: GNU Hurd Installation

[Jakub Daniel]

I would love to know what to do with it to make it work.

But few more problems appeared.

http://www.debian.org/ports/hurd/hurd-install gives us hints
how to install xorg. but i cant meet the dependencies with the
repositories listed on that site.

the same problem with packages like emacs, mount..

i also wonder how does the login part work.. when someone boots
hurd he gets logged as some wierd user... is it possible to disable that
so that no one but registered users can access the system?

thanks a lot for your help and effort

Hello,

grub installation has never worked from GNU/Hurd yet. Only very recently
patches have been sent upstream to fix some of the issues you're having
but there are still fundamental things we need to fix until we get grub
installation working.  I will discuss about it here when I get some
time to. Basically, the problem is stat /'s st_rdev (aka fsid) vs stat
/dev/hd0's st_dev which do not match.
