+Subject: New Hurd Snapshot
+X-Shopping-List:
+ (1) Horrendous collision devotions (2) Wondrous consolation (3)
+ Conscious cooking auctions
+X-Filter: mailagent [version 3.0 PL19] for trent@gnurd.uu.pdx.edu
+
+
+A new Hurd snapshot has been placed on alpha.gnu.ai.mit.edu. There
+may be unforseen problems with this snapshot, so the old one has been
+left. You may fetch this snapshot via anonymous FTP in the file
+/gnu/hurd-snap.tar.gz.
+
+The Hurd requires a modified version of MiG; you can get it by
+anonymous ftp to kahlua.cs.utah.edu in /pub/mach/mach4-UK02p6.tar.gz.
+Note that we are not yet using Mach4 for the Hurd, but we plan to
+switch as soon as its feasible.
+
+Other necessary software to run this snapshot include the latest
+snapshot of binutils/ld/gas source from Cygnus and the latest GCC.
+(Problems have been reported with GCC 2.6.1; you might want to wait
+until 2.6.2 is released.) And, of course, you also need the latest
+test version of the GNU C Library, found on alpha.gnu.ai.mit.edu.
+
+This is not yet a real release; it is certainly not up to the quality
+of even a hesitant alpha release. But it may be useful for
+educational value or to help with the Hurd effort.
+
+I will be out of town for most of the rest of the year; I will be
+reading email but I may not be able to help with problems. Sorry...
