To night a beauteful baby-girl was born at my office:
The Hurd booted more or less completely on my machine.

I have asked and written previously about my problems making Hurd boot,and 
will not go into details here.But it seemes to be the old "linux"-problem:My 
home machine was too new;with brand new hardware and lack of drivers due to 
the old licence-problem this is a well known problem in trying setting up a 
linuxPC.
My office machine was 2 years older and everything went smooth.
A latest-gnu-tarball.tgz was opened in the mounted partition,and a image-grub 
was dd'ed to the floppy.(This machine also takes the complete SuSE-linux,but 
the home machine does not).
The office machine easily received the ./native-install command and was 
working out everything as expected,as far as I could tell.
So now I have at least the gnuMach running with a Bourn shell at the prompt.

The baby-girl "Hirda" - which is a suitable Norwegian name for her - thanks 
you all and is waiting for nicer and bigger clothes from you as she is 
growing.
