hosting hurd CD image at hurd.gnu.org

[Jim Franklin]

Hi Marcus,
 We are hoping to include Phil Charles' hurd iso CD image at hurd.gnu.org .
Could you verify for us whether or not the base14.tgz has any non-free
software included. Verification of this information is necessary in order to
adhere to the gnu.org website guidelines. Please reply via web-hurd@gnu.org
or bug-hurd@gnu.org so we have an archived reply.

Thx
Jim

hurd-F2 CDs will have no non-free.  The base14.tgz is Marcus' tarball
and I would expect it to be free of non-free.  Marcus is the person to
confirm this.

Unofficial Developer's Snapshot?  I hope to be updating the images about
every 4-5 weeks.  The Hurd seems to moving fast enough to warrant this
frequency, but I am open to suggestions.

I now have a Dunedin site available to me which will enable uploads to be
made.  I am limited to a standard modem for uploads.

Phil.
