There is a QEMU image with [[Debian GNU/Hurd|debian]] pre-installed available
as <http://people.debian.org/~sthibault/hurd-i386/debian-hurd.img.tar.gz>.

Usage:

    $ wget http://people.debian.org/~sthibault/hurd-i386/debian-hurd.img.tar.gz
    $ tar -xz < debian-hurd.img.tar.gz
    $ qemu -m 512 -net nic,model=rtl8139 -net user -drive cache=writeback,index=0,media=disk,file=$(echo debian-hurd-*.img)

    <mcsim> scp -P5555 -r ./hurd/ root@localhost:/root/src/
    <mcsim> root@localhost's password: 
    <mcsim> The Hurd is not Linux. Make sure to read
    <braunr> that shouldn't happen ...
    <braunr> use tar maybe ?

    <teythoon> braunr: mcsims scp problem is b/c youpis images echo stuff from
      the .bashrc or something
    <teythoon> i wish he'd change that, as it is a reoccuring problem
    <teythoon> youpi: ^
    <teythoon> (didn't realize you are around >,<)
    <teythoon> now that /etc/issue is displayed, you can put the welcome text
      there
    <braunr> teythoon: i see
    <teythoon> mcsim: your ssh trouble are rooted in the .bashrc printing some
      stuff to stdout
    <mcsim> teythoon: thank you. It works now
    <teythoon> :)
