There are three current methods and one depricated methods to install GNU: tarball (network), bochs virtual machine and the depricated "cross-install".
-* Neal Walfield's [guide](http://web.walfield.org/papers/hurd-installation-guide/english/hurd-install-guide.html) is excellent and is available in several formats. This is the guide that the Hurd community always references first. The GNU official [installation page](http://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/install.html) is the canonical reference.

* [[Bochs]] is an x86 emulator similar to the propietary [[VMware]] (which is not supported). Alfred M Szmidt wrote a [great guide](http://ftp.walfield.org/pub/people/ams/hurd/creating_bochs_image_for_gnu.txt). The Bochs project hosts a preinstalled GNU image that is periodicaly updated. You can get the latest one [here](http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=12580).
* Once upon a time there was a `cross-install` script that did an installation while running from another system install. While there are spurious &amp; unintentional references to "cross-installs" this is almost always now intended to mean a tarball install.

-* Some packages use an erroneous dependency on `libc6-dev`. This is incorrect because libc6 is specific to GNU/Linux. The corresponding package for GNU is `libc0.3-dev`. If you find a package that is uninstallable due to a libc6[-dev] dependency, please send a bug report with a patch that fixes it. It is important that you don't hack your package system to workaround such problems, because that way you won't be able to spot them when they arrive. See the [[PortingIssues]] for details about the problem and [[BtsFiling]] for details on sending bug reports.

`ftp`, `telnet`, `shell`, `login`, and `exec`.
