Hi all !

  As Kevin I recently try to install the Hurd, i think i should say
manually (using crosshurd for the base followed by the 2 native-install
+ reboot). Is that what you call the manual install ?
  If it is you may be warn that it is currently broken : some package(s)
depends on slang1 package which is not in the repository (tried the 3
one given in tthe debian install-guide + this one :
  ftp://ftp.eila.jussieu.fr/pub/Debian-gnuab/dists/unreleased/).

  I also have question concerning stability, the system running never
more than one hour... yes I know that Hurd is still in an early stage of
development... but those crashes generally corrupt my fs and all y can
do is reinstalling the system. I've seen that I may use sync before
reboot... but sync seems to freeze everything... looks like a vicious
circle. Do you have any idea to enhance the situation ?

thanks, Nicolas.
