-? Generally Speaking
-
-?? What mailing lists are there?
-
-{NHW} There are four principle mailing lists:
-
-- bug-hurd@gnu.org: Development of the Hurd and Mach.
-- help-hurd@gnu.org: General questions about the Hurd.
-- web-hurd@gnu.org: Maintenance of the Hurd webpages at
- http://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/hurd.html
-- debian-hurd@lists.debian.org: All things related to Debian GNU/Hurd
- (especially porting issues).
-
-Subscribe in the usual manner.
-
-?? Where do I submit bug reports?
-
-{AMS} Either send the bug report as an email to bug-hurd@gnu.org, or
-use the Savannah Bug Tracker at
-http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?group=hurd.
-
-?? Is there a TODO list?
-
-{NHW} Yes, in fact, several.
-
-- <hurd>/tasks
-- <hurd>/TODO
-
-?? There is so much spam in GNU mailing lists! Why?
-
-{OK} GNU mailing lists don't have spam filters so that anyone can post
-to mailing lists and mail won't get lost. It's expected that
-subscribers have their own spam filtering.
-
-Please don't raise this topic in Hurd mailing lists -- it's off-topic
-issue. Search mailing lists archives for threads about spam in Hurd
-mailing lists.
-
? Installation
-?? Where do I get Debian GNU/Hurd?
-
-{AMS} Instructions on how to download and install Debian GNU/Hurd are
-available at http://www.debian.org/ports/hurd/
-
-Debian GNU/Hurd can also be installed using a CD, information about it
-can be found at the following site:
-http://www.debian.org/ports/hurd/hurd-cd
-
-?? How do I install Debian GNU/Hurd?
-
-{NHW} Consult one of the installation guides. The most up to date guide
-can be found at:
-
- http://www.debian.org/ports/hurd/hurd-install
-
-?? What kind of hardware is supported?
-
-{NHW} Currently, the GNU Hurd only runs on IA32 machines, however,
-porting to other architectures should not be difficult: the code has
-always been written with portability in mind.
-
-With respect to drivers, GNU Mach uses a subset of the drivers from the
-Linux 2.0.x kernel. A relatively complete hardware compatibility guide
-can be found at:
-
- http://www.nongnu.org/thug/gnumach_hardware.html
-
-If you run into trouble, it is most likely that:
-
-- You are using IRQ sharing; GNU Mach does not support this in the
- least.
-- A device driver is frobbing the hardware and accidentally activating
- the wrong device.
-
-In the former case, you should start removing devices or play with the
-BIOS. As for the latter, GNU Mach does not support loadable kernel
-modules. Therefore, you will have to compile a new kernel and only
-activate those device drivers that you actually need.
-
?? What partition type should I use for my GNU/Hurd partitions?
{MB} You should use an ext2 filesystem. Alternatively, you may use BSD

+# Spam
+
+GNU mailing lists used to have no spam filtering applied -- everyone was
+allowed to post, the lists were completely unmoderated. This resulted in
+getting the lists spammed very much, as you can see in the web archives. If
+you're interested in getting hold of (mostly) spam-free mboxes, then talk to
