-**Milestone (expected 2010-07-18):
-installer works but it's still somewhat ugly and broken**
-
* call for testing and fix the bugs
-* See if it would be possible to avoid accessing devices
- when firmlinking them into the target system.
- * Who does that?
- * find should prune them as instructed,
- and avoid a stat/readdir as a result
- * showtrans shouldn't access the translator itself
- * firmlink should access the target only when it is used
-
-* In the same vein, permissions on underlying nodes
- are probably broken when created by hurd through `MAKEDEV -k`,
- and doing the actual chmod/chown accesses the device
+* Bug in setup-translators/MAKEDEV:
+ permissions are broken for nodes re-created through `MAKEDEV -k`,
+ because MAKEDEV's chmod/chown reaches the pre-existing translator
* Maybe settrans could be made to accept -o/--owner and
-p/--perm, to set the permissions for the underlying node?
* Silence the "no kernel" warning somehow.
-* Think about TERM=hurd and preseed locale
-
* Investigate the wget/libc/pfinet/whatever bug which corrupts Packages.gz,
