This release runs only on PC-AT compatible systems with +i[3456]86 processors. + +The GNU Hurd, plus Mach, is a kernel, not an operating system. The +GNU operating system, like the Unix operating system, consists of many +components, including kernel, libraries, compilers, assembler, shell, +parser generators, utilities, window system, editors, text formatters, +and so on. The GNU project set out a decade ago to develop this +system, and we've been writing various components of it ever since. + +This release uses the GNUmach distribution of the Mach kernel, version +1.1.3. Popular PC devices are generally supported. + +This release does not contain the X Window System. + +This release may be fetched from the directory +ftp://prep.ai.mit.edu/pub/gnu/gnu-0.2. (prep.ai.mit.edu is 18.159.42, +for the nameserver-impaired). + +In that directory, you should find the following files: + +README +SOURCES +INSTALL-binary +grub-boot.image (about 1.5 MB, not compressed) +gnu-0.2.tar.gz (about 73 MB compressed) + +SOURCES contains a complete list describing the sources for the +binaries found in the image. INSTALL-binary contains complete +installation instructions for this release. + +(The files README, SOURCES, and INSTALL-binary are also found in the +root directory of the gnu-0.2 release.) + +gnu-0.2.tar.gz holds the image of the complete system. It unpacks +into a directory that requires approximately 285 MB of disk space. + +grub-boot.image is an image of a 3.5" floppy disk that you will need +in order to complete part of the installation instructions. + +The following free software packages are included in this release: + +autoconf automake bash bc binutils bison cpio cvs diffutils doschk +e2fsprogs ed emacs emacs lisp manual fileutils findutils flex from g77 +gawk gcal gcc gdb gettext glibc gmp gnuchess gnumach gnugo grep grub +gzip hello hurd indent inetutils less libg++ lynx m4 make miscfiles +ncurses nethack nvi patch perl ptx readline rcs recode sed sendmail +sh-utils sharutils tar termutils texinfo textutils time wdiff + +-- + +Here are md5sum checksums for the files mentioned in this message: + +3749b016ab581e007b90d17b9092e134 INSTALL-binary +1f800c326ba4c3a0b3f3a3463597317b README +40d1e1a38dd86f28fe2718081ac865cb SOURCES +f29c1a03c1667a8019b66f6effa89d39 gnu-0.2.tar.gz +8ad3c7254802a16068a956e836266212 grub-boot.image -- cgit v1.2.3
