Building and booting the HURD

[Gregg C Levine]

Hello from Gregg C Levine
More about my current problems.
For booting the HURD, I found that the instructions on the Debian
version of Neal's instructions regarding the usage of the terms for
booting the HURD via GRUB to be difficult to use. However, the ones
from the regular website do. Unfortunately that one contains the
serverboot file.

For building the HURD, even though I downloaded the currently released
versions of gnumach, and mig, and even the early tar files for the
HURD, I retrieved the stuff from CVS, and found that I needed the
OSkit materials, obviously, grabbed a copy from Debian. Also for
building the mig program, I ended up with this oddball error message
set:

Incidentally that's from yesterday's CVS, even though the date is
today's. Does anyone have any idea of what's wrong? I have not tried
the HURD code, since I suspect most of it would be dependant on
everything else.
