There are three current methods and one depricated methods to install the Hurd: 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.

* 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.
