LiveCD (was: Re: Hurd/L4 as a class project)

[Greg Buchholz]

    FWIW, there's a wiki page at...

    http://hurd.gnufans.org/bin/view/Hurd/LiveCD

...which discusses some of the things that I ran into when I attempted
to make a bootable Hurd CD about a year and a half ago.  I was pretty
sucessful in getting grub and gnumach to boot off of a CD, but my
biggest stumbling block was trying to debug isofs9660 while it was
starting up at boot time.  My attempts at debugging by printf, using gdb
over a serial port, and using a sub-hurd failed.  But I always had a
hunch that the problems were probably fairly superficial, if I could
only have found out where and why the translator ended up dying.


Here's wishing you better luck,
